The New Jersey Lottery offers a draw game where players select five numbers from a pool of 60 and one “Cash Ball” number from a pool of four. Matching all six numbers wins the top prize, a lifetime annuity. Other prize tiers exist for matching fewer numbers. Drawings occur nightly. A hypothetical example would be selecting the numbers 7, 12, 28, 45, 51 and Cash Ball 2. These selections would then be compared against the winning numbers drawn to determine the prize won, if any.
This particular game provides a unique appeal due to the “lifetime” nature of its top prize. Instead of a single lump-sum payment, winners receive a pre-determined amount of money for the rest of their lives, providing a steady stream of income. This structure offers financial security and peace of mind, distinguishing it from other lottery games with one-time payouts. The game contributes to state revenue, supporting various public programs and initiatives. The draw game has been a fixture of the New Jersey Lottery for many years, offering consistent entertainment and the potential for life-altering wins for its players.
