En la anterior aplicación estaba disponible y fácil de usar. ### 4/5 — Jersey cash 5,inadequate explanation & info on new changes & how to play. *2024-10-15, version 3.1* As a Lifelong cash5 player I along with others are confused on how the new changes are played. Payouts for four numbers with the Bullseye match changed the game. There is nowhere on the website to clarify the rules on how to play. I have been playing since it started & have stopped due to this. Others I have spoken to are doing the same!,, Return to the prior game! ### 3/5 — All *2022-02-26, version 3.0.3* I would like to be able to search for lottery numbers of the past and I cannot do that now it’s very tedious to look it up by hand. Thank you ### 3/5 — Liked the old one better *2021-10-19, version 3.0.3* I liked the old way it was set up.. I don’t like this new lay out, it’s confusing !! ### 5/5 — Lottery New Jersey App *2021-03-29, version 3.0.1* New Jersey lottery has the best app. Very accurate.. ### 2/5 — Has a way to go *2021-02-18, version 3.0.1* Great app if it only had the missing games on. Pick 3 evening,pick 3 day and night ?? ### 2/5 — Late *2021-01-09, version 3.0.1* Late on numbers ### 2/5 — Lottery *2020-09-02, version 3.0* How about putting the payoff for pick four numbers. Plus where are the pick 3 - 4 - 5-6 picks not on my phone anymore need them &the pay offs.river ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many commercials!!! *2026-03-02, version 4.0* Too many commercials and constantly distracting scrolling ad’s. The page needs to be condensed. The actual data is too spread and spaced out! ### 1/5 — Equal opportunity *2025-06-21, version 3.2* There is definitely a difference between NJ state and private company, being greedy doesn’t make you more money, makes you being a garbage human being. ### 1/5 — New lottery app *2024-04-18, version 3.0.6* I preferred the previous app. It was easier to use, more concentrated for results and didn’t need a separate VIP app. ### 1/5 — I hate NEW JERSEY *2023-12-10, version 3.0.6* As I pass through NJ YOU PREVENT ME FROM PLAYING MY OWN STATE LOTTERY. ### 1/5 — Nj lottery *2023-01-26, version 3.0.4* I don’t like to pay for scanning my loosing tickets. Scanning should be free. ### 1/5 — No ticket checker *2022-04-13, version 3.0.4* Simple scan ticket like actual NJ lottery app would have made this soooo much better. Instead you have to manually put numbers in for every ticket, stupid. ### 1/5 — No scanner *2022-02-21, version 3.0.3* What happened to the scanner!!!!! ### 1/5 — More confusing *2021-03-09, version 3.0.1* Newest app more confusing ### 1/5 — Not good *2021-02-28, version 3.0.1* You have to go and search each individual number when you should be able to just scan the barcode ### 1/5 — Lottery *2020-09-16, version 3.0* Should also contain pick 3 & 4 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Respuesta *2025-06-23, version 3.2* Explicar ### 5/5 — Annoying *2025-05-02, version 3.2* This app is terrible it freezes doesn’t give you an update till like 3mins later keeps buffering all the time very annoying ### 5/5 — Top *2024-12-26, version 3.1* Top ### 5/5 — Why *2024-09-30, version 3.1* Who’s brain decided to fix something that wasn’t broken. Can’t you find something else for those brainiacs to do?. Why doesn’t any big hit get won in the inner Cities like Newark N.J. We play as well. Johnna ### 5/5 — Lottery *2024-08-07, version 3.0.6* I can’t wait until I win the jackpot mega, powerball, cash for life, pick 6 and the jersey cash 5💰💰💰💰💰 ### 5/5 — Great app. *2023-01-31, version 3.0.4* I enjoy knowing all the details of every draw!!! ### 5/5 — May 13 update - scanner broken again *2022-05-13, version 3.0.4* Called the app support line. Was told I’m the only person that complained, so the problem must be my phone. Yeah right… The scanner works for scratchers but not draw games. You’re telling me my iPhone can tell the difference?! Wasn’t caused by an update, so something in the backend broke the scanner. As many - including me have asked for years, WHY ISN’T THERE A REAL SUPPORT LINK? We shouldn’t have to report issues in a review. ### 5/5 — LOVERR *2022-04-20, version 3.0.4* love ### 5/5 — Awesome *2022-02-13, version 3.0.3* Great app ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-05-23, version 3.0.2* Easy to play. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
