    How it works
    Pick 5 different numbers from 1 to 45, and 5 are drawn. The fifth number drawn is the BULLSEYE. Match 3, 4 or all 5, in any order, to win, or 2 when one of them is the BULLSEYE. A match that includes the BULLSEYE pays more.
    Jackpot
    The jackpot starts at $150,000 and can grow after each drawing it isn't won, by an amount based on forecast sales. Winning plays share it equally. Every prize, the jackpot included, is paid in one payment, with no annuity.
    Prizes
    Every prize below the jackpot is a set cash amount, and each play wins only its highest prize. The fifth number drawn is the BULLSEYE. A match of 3 or 4 numbers that includes it pays twice as much as one that doesn't, and matching just 2 numbers wins only when one of them is the BULLSEYE.
    XTRA
    One XTRA multiplier is drawn right after each Jersey Cash 5 drawing, from 30 numbers: sixteen 2X, ten 3X, three 4X and one 5X. With XTRA on a play, every prize below the jackpot, BULLSEYE prizes included, is multiplied by it. XTRA is $1 more a play, for each drawing.
    Advance Play
    Multi-Draw plays the same numbers for 2 to 7, 14 or 21 drawings in a row, starting with the next one.
