The Jersey Cash 5 lottery jackpot worth $816,218 for Saturday’s drawing was split by two winning tickets.
One winning ticket was bought using the Jackpocket app. The other winner purchased a lucky ticket at the ShopRite on Summerhill Road in Spotswood, Middlesex County, lottery officials said.
Each ticket is worth $408,109.
Saturday’s winning Jersey Cash 5 numbers were: 22, 35, 37, 40 and 42. The Bullseye number was 35.
No one hit the jackpot on Sunday, pushing Monday’s top prize to an estimated $166,000.
A $2 ticket must match all five numbers (between 1 and 45) to win the jackpot. The odds of doing so are 1,221,759 to 1.
Over the weekend, there were no jackpot winners nationally for either Powerball or Mega Millions, the two large multi-state lottery games.
