It was another night of big wins for Pick 5 fans, as jackpots hit in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. These lucky players matched all five numbers in Tuesday's drawings to claim six-figure prizes, taking home almost $1 million in winnings.

54th jackpot win of 2025 in New Jersey

New Jersey Lottery players got to see the 54th jackpot win of the year for Jersey Cash 5 players in the state. For the Tuesday, October 21, 2025, drawing, one lucky ticketholder matched all the winning numbers drawn to win the $367,639 jackpot.

For last night's drawing, the winning numbers were 2, 10, 19, 30, and 43. The Bullseye number was 10 and the XTRA number was 4.

This jackpot win comes just four drawings after one lucky player matched all the winning numbers to win the $1.62 million jackpot on Friday, October 17.

It has been a big month for Jersey Cash 5 players, as two lucky players split the biggest Jersey Cash 5 jackpot ever in the game's history on October 7. The two ticketholders each walked away with $1.91 million.

The winning continued last night, this time from the Cash 5 with Quick Cash draw game from the Pennsylvania Lottery.

For the Tuesday, October 21, 2025, drawing, one lucky ticketholder matched all the winning numbers drawn to win the $300,000 jackpot. For this drawing, the winning numbers were 23, 34, 36, 37, and 39.

Like Jersey Cash 5, this jackpot win for Cash 5 players came just four drawings after the previous jackpot winner. On Friday, October 17, one lucky player matched all the winning numbers to win the $200,000 jackpot that night.

Online ticket wins Fantasy 5 drawing in Michigan

The winning for Pick 5 games continued last night, this time for a Fantasy 5 ticket purchased online from the Michigan Lottery.

For the Tuesday, October 21, 2025, drawing, the lucky ticketholder matched all the winning numbers drawn to win the $280,073 jackpot. For this drawing, the winning numbers were 4, 7, 24, 25, and 30.

There was more buildup for this jackpot win in Michigan. The last jackpot win for Fantasy 5 players came on Sunday, October 12. For that drawing, one lucky ticket purchased in Harper Woods matched all the winning numbers drawn to win the $342,575 jackpot. That means there were nine drawings before last night's jackpot winner.

This continues a trend of bigger Fantasy 5 jackpot wins in Michigan. One lucky player won $476,728 during the September 18, 2025, drawing.

The Kent County man is a regular Fantasy 5 player, usually playing one ticket at a time. However, since the jackpot was so high that night, he decided to splurge and buy a few more tickets. It paid off, as he matched all five of the winning numbers drawn to win the jackpot. The 63-year-old man said he's not ready to retire just yet, but when he does in a few years, this will help provide a nice cushion for him.

Enjoy playing the lottery, and please remember to play responsibly.
