The New Jersey Lottery has temporarily suspended sales and drawings of its 5 Card Cash game, effective Monday, May 4, according to the lottery to safeguard employees and customers from the Covid-19 virus.
“The temporary suspension of 5 Card Cash is designed to protect the health and safety of lottery employees and its customers,” the agency said in a release. “Not only does this game require two additional staff members to be in the office beyond the teams for other drawings, it does not permit multi-draw play or advance play, so purchases are only applicable to the day they are purchased.”
Players who purchased tickets prior to the game suspension will still have one year following the drawing to claim any prizes won.
During the game suspension, the 5 Card Cash “All In” progressive jackpot will remain static and will continue to be displayed on all media.
The lottery hasn’t set a date when the game will resume.
