Double Luck! Two Players Split $449,456 NJ Lottery Jackpot
The excitement is palpable in the Garden State! The NJ Lottery has officially announced that two fortunate players have split a massive $449,456 jackpot from the Jersey Cash 5 drawing held on Tuesday, September 8.
Luck struck in two very different ways: one winning ticket was purchased at a traditional brick-and-mortar store, while the other was secured through the convenience of modern technology. This serves as a great reminder that whether you prefer the local corner store or a digital app, the next big win could be yours.
Where the Winning Tickets Were Sold
The jackpot was split equally, with each winner taking home a life-changing $224,728. The winning tickets were sold at:
- n
- Quick Chek: Located on Terrill Road in Plainfield (Union County).
- Jackpocket.com: A popular third-party digital lottery courier.
It wasn’t just the players who celebrated; both retailers will receive a $2,000 bonus for selling the winning tickets, adding a little extra joy to their business day.

For those who participated in the Tuesday draw, here are the official Jersey Cash 5 results:
Winning Numbers: 01, 15, 17, 29, 30

Beyond the jackpot, several other players had a great night. The New Jersey Lottery reported that 30 players matched four numbers plus the Bullseye, winning $500 each. Even more impressive, nine of those winners had the Xtra option, boosting their prize to $1,500!
