A lucky New Jersey player struck it big Thursday, winning $1 million in the Cash 4 Life drawing, according to state lottery officials. The ticket was purchased at Krauser’s on 1198 Raritan Road in Cranford, Union County. The winner matched five numbers—40, 43, 49, 54, and 60—but just missed the Cash Ball, snagging the second-tier prize.
Opting for the cash payout, the player took home $1 million instead of $1,000 a week for life. Cash 4 Life tickets are just $2, with two exciting jackpot options: the top prize offers $1,000 a day for life (currently worth $7 million in cash), while the second prize gives $1,000 a week for life, with a $1 million cash option. Drawings happen daily around 9 p.m.
This win continues a hot streak for New Jersey’s Cash 4 Life game. September saw a Bergen County player take home the same $1 million prize, and August brought million-dollar winners in both Bergen and Union counties. Even back in May, a Middlesex County player joined the million-dollar club.
Cash 4 Life isn’t just in New Jersey—it’s available in nine states, including Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Virginia, giving players nationwide a shot at life-changing winnings.
With daily drawings and multiple ways to win, the game keeps players on the edge of their seats, hoping they might be next to claim a million-dollar prize.
