Now that Ohio Rolling Cash5 is at $587,000, maybe I should try it locally. RC5 is a 5/39 game.

The strategy is really just 50 lines that don't match3 with any of the other 49 lines more than once, haven't matched 2 in the previous 2 drawings or matched 3 in the previous 18. All the combinations have a sum of 70-135, gaps of 1-20 and a range between the lowest and highest numbers of 14-37. Throw in the numbers of the combinations as a group have hit 111-147 times in the last 200 drawings an... [ More ]

When I won it was up to 38 numbers and no rollover. They later made it 40 numbers but with rollover. It depends on whether the numbers that came out were predictable or popular; other people use systems and if they end up using similar methods and the numbers match there will be many winners, or if a lot of date numbers come out or not. The amount of the rollover increase is a clue to how many tickets were sold. May be same amount of players but now buying multiple tickets. I only wish they ga... [ More ]

Maybe I should be driving up to Michigan and trying it there. I use to drive up to that Truck-stop on RT23 north of the state line to get BigGame tickets before MegaMillions came to Ohio.

NJ's cash 5 obviously rolls over until there's a jackpot winner, and it's a 5 of 40 game. The odds of winning the jackpot are about 1 in 658,000, and typical payouts suggest sales of 200 to 250 thousand tickets. Even if there weren't a lot of repeated combinations that would mean less than a 40% chance of a winner for a typical drawing.

FWIW, the number of tickets sold during the run probably makes the roll similar to the Hoosier lotto in terms of probability.

Ohio's Rolling Cash5 has rolled to $287K and it's usually won before it rolls over $300K . I'm thinking it's time to try my 50 lines strategy before it's won and goes back to $100K. The best I've ever done with this game is a match3 and that was with 10 lines.

Yes, they're usually much smaller, but isn't that because most pick-5 games don't roll over? In Florida our Fantasy 5 game is daily, averages $250,000 and rolls down to the lower tier prizes if there isn't a winner. There were 8 winners in FL Monday and they each got $27,739.34 before taxes.

That is truely amazing for a pick 5 game to get that big.

It looks like there was somewhere around 7 winners in the drawing tonight. Each ticket was worth approx. $280,000

I'd say that New Jersey should spend some money to revamp their website.

Jackpot unusually large for a Pick 5 game

The New Jersey Lottery's Jersey Cash 5 jackpot is so large that the lottery's web site jackpot listing is not designed to handle the large number.

A section displaying the state's current jackpot amounts lists the Cash 5 jackpot as 18 thousand , but a red notice shown beside the jackpot section contains the message, The correct Jersey Cash 5 jackpot for Tuesday 10/23/2007 is $1,800,000 .
