Pair of winning ticket holders will split a big jackpot worth of $19M

A pair of lucky ticket holders will split Friday’s $1,907,186 Jersey Cash 5 lottery jackpot, the second-biggest prize of the year for the daily game.

One was sold at Field Liquors on Route 46 west in Clifton, the other at Krauszer’s Food Store on John F.

Kennedy Boulevard in Franklin Township, Somerset County. Both lucky tickets matched all five numbers with each being worth $953,593.

Friday’s winning numbers were: 9, 10, 12, 16, and 19. The XTRA number was: 4. Friday’s jackpot was topped only by the $1,907,805 for the Feb. 25 drawing.

That prize was shared by three winners. No one hit the jackpot for the 11 previous drawings, pushing the top prize above $1.9 million.

There were no jackpot winners on Saturday and Sunday, nudging Monday’s prize to $214,000.
