$1.99M Jersey Cash 5 Jackpot Sold at Middlesex County Convenience Store

One ticket hit the Jersey Cash 5 jackpot. Worth $1,997,829. The lucky stub came from South River Convenience Store at 58 Jackson St. in Middlesex County, according to New Jersey Lottery officials who announced the win after Saturday night's drawing.

All five numbers matched. The winner picked 9, 12, 27, 31, and 32. This is the exact sequence pulled on Saturday, Jan. 10.

Eleven drawings passed without anyone claiming the top prize before this. The jackpot now drops back to $150,000 when the next game starts.

The Bullseye number came up as 31. The XTRA multiplier hit X3. Your chances of matching all five numbers? One in 1,221,759.

The store gets a bonus. Officials will hand over $2,000 for selling the winning ticket.

Seventy-two other players walked away with something too — they matched four numbers plus the Bullseye, which paid $500 apiece. Twelve of those players added the XTRA option and tripled their take to $1,500.

No name yet. Officials haven't revealed who won the jackpot, but whoever holds that ticket has one year from the drawing date to step forward and collect.

Players choose five numbers between 1 and 45 when they buy in. Drawings happen every night at 11:57 p.m.

This ranks among the bigger Jersey Cash 5 wins in recent months, as jackpots usually start at $150,000 and can climb past $1 million when nobody wins for a while.
