Very nice hit. Best wishes to the winner.
Jersey Cash 5 is a great game — one of the perfect in-state games among all states. Nearly $2 million from a Pick 5 game!
$1.9M cash is good bread.
I play our Cash5 a lot more than I play PB & MM but so far I have nothing to show for it. I know one day I will have the last laugh or should I say "my first laugh"?
Congrats to the winners
spend wisely
did that say it was a Quick pick or not, i never got the hang of the cash 5 maybe i will try it sometime.
It's pretty much the only game I play - when it's at 1 million plus it's a pretty good bet.
I won $11,if only I had two more numbers
Congratulation to the winner/s...
Congratulations to the winner! I wonder how the winner will spend such huge amount of prize. If I win this prize I will purchase a house and lot first. :)
