If you have a friend who plays the lottery, be nice to them.
They might be $1 million richer.
An Ocean County player matched all five numbers of the Jersey Cash 5 on April 2, which earned the ticket holder the $1,063,710 jackpot.
The winning numbers were 08, 24, 36, 38 and 45. The Xtra was 04 and the Bullseye was 08. The ticket was purchased through Jackpocket.
It marked the fifth time this year that someone hit for at least $1 million on Cash 5.
While not everyone was a grand prize winner, 10 people matched four out of five balls, the Bullseye and the Xtra to each win $1,500, another matched four numbers and the Xtra to win $750 and 42 players matched four of the five numbers and the Bullseye to each win $500.
