$100K Lottery Ticket Sold In Morris County

MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — One Morris County lottery player just won big in the New Jersey Lottery's Jersey Cash 5 Green Ball promotion.

According to lottery officials, until Dec. 3, the Jersey Cash 5 drawing will feature a Green Ball machine with six white balls and one green ball.

When the green ball is drawn, all participants receive a second chance drawing as the Jersey Cash 5 machine is reset and new numbers are selected for the Green Ball drawing.

In Wednesday's drawing, after the green ball was drawn, a lottery ticket sold at the Krauszer's on State Route 15 in Wharton matched all five numbers in the Green Ball drawing to win the $100,000 jackpot, the New Jersey Lottery said.

The Green Ball numbers were: 14, 16, 21, 37 and 44. The XTRA number was 05. An additional 54 players had four out of five numbers for the Green Ball drawing and won $559.

"Congratulations to our first Jersey Cash 5 Green Ball winner! We hope this incredible prize brings joy and happiness to the player; it’s exciting to see players get a free second chance on their tickets!” said New Jersey Lottery Executive Director James Carey.

The Lottery reminds players that during the promotional period, all Jersey Cash 5 tickets are eligible to win Green Ball prizes; no additional purchase is required.
