The New Jersey Lottery has always been a staple of excitement and hope for residents of the Garden State, offering a wide variety of games that provide opportunities to win big. Each day, players eagerly check their tickets to see if they’ve hit the jackpot, and Sunday, Dec. 1 was no exception. The results from the Pick-3, Pick-4, Cash 5, and Cash4Life drawings brought both joy and disappointment, as they do every week. Whether you’re a regular player or just someone looking for the latest updates, here’s a comprehensive look at the winning numbers from the New Jersey Lottery games on Sunday, Dec. 1.
Pick-3: A Game of Simplicity and Luck
Pick-3 is one of the most straightforward and popular games in the NJ Lottery lineup. With a small wager, players choose three digits from 0 to 9, and there are various ways to win depending on how the numbers are matched. For those who enjoy a quick draw and smaller prizes, Pick-3 offers plenty of opportunities to win, with draws taking place twice a day, seven days a week.
Winning Numbers for Sunday, Dec. 1:
- Midday Draw: 3-8-2
- Evening Draw: 7-5-9
Whether you matched all three numbers in the exact order or hit it in a different combination, each play brings a thrilling opportunity for cash prizes. The midday and evening drawings are perfect for those who enjoy checking their tickets quickly to see if they’re walking away with a small fortune. Pick-3 is all about finding the right combination and getting lucky.
Pick-4: Bigger Bets, Bigger Wins
For those who want a slightly higher-stakes game, Pick-4 offers a great alternative to Pick-3. By choosing four digits from 0 to 9, players have more chances to win with more possible combinations, including options for straight plays, box plays, and more. The game brings bigger prizes and a slightly more complex way to play, but for those who enjoy a greater challenge and bigger rewards, Pick-4 can be enticing.

- Midday Draw: 1-9-7-3
- Evening Draw: 4-8-6-5
These winning numbers offer players a shot at more significant cash prizes. Depending on how you wagered, you could have won based on exact order, any order, or other combination-based plays. With more digits and more ways to win, Pick-4 gives players the thrill of potentially scoring a bigger payout while keeping the same level of excitement as Pick-3.
Cash 5: New Jersey’s Mid-Range Jackpot Game
For those who are looking for a larger payout than what Pick-3 and Pick-4 can offer but aren’t quite ready to commit to the bigger jackpots of games like Mega Millions or Powerball, Cash 5 is the ideal middle-ground. The game offers players the chance to win life-changing sums of money by correctly picking five numbers from a pool of 1 to 43. Cash 5 offers both small prizes and huge jackpots, making it one of the most popular games in the state.

If you were lucky enough to match all five numbers in the correct order, you could be walking away with a substantial sum of money. For those who missed by just one or two numbers, smaller prizes are also available, giving players multiple chances to win. The addition of the “Jersey Jackpot” means that even if you don’t hit the main jackpot, you could still win extra cash by matching this extra number.
Cash4Life: A Game of Dreams with Lifetime Payouts
Cash4Life is one of New Jersey’s most exciting lottery offerings, providing players with a unique chance to win a lifetime payout. Instead of a single lump sum, Cash4Life offers winners the opportunity to receive $1,000 a day for life, or a one-time payout of $7 million. The game is played by selecting five numbers from 1 to 60 and a Cash Ball number from 1 to 4. It’s a game of big dreams, offering players the chance to change their lives forever.

For anyone who dreams of a big, steady payout, Cash4Life provides an extraordinary opportunity.

Though the chances of hitting the jackpot are slim, the prospect of such a windfall is what keeps people coming back for more.
Even if you didn’t win the top prize, Cash4Life still offers smaller prizes for matching some of the numbers. Players can win substantial cash awards for matching as few as two numbers, making it a game of both luck and possibility.
How to Play and How to Win
Each of these lottery games follows a simple principle: the more numbers you match, the bigger your prize. Whether you play Pick-3 or Cash4Life, the key is understanding the rules and knowing how to pick your numbers:
- Pick-3 & Pick-4: Choose your numbers (either three or four digits), and you can select different types of wagers like straight, box, or a combination of both to increase your chances.
- Cash 5: Pick five numbers from 1 to 43, and add the Jersey Jackpot number for a chance at additional winnings.
- Cash4Life: Select five numbers from 1 to 60, and choose a Cash Ball number from 1 to 4 for a chance at a daily payout of $1,000 for life.
The Odds and the Rewards
As exciting as the New Jersey Lottery games are, it’s important for players to keep the odds in mind. For example, the odds of winning the Pick-3 game are relatively favorable, with one in 1,000 odds of hitting the jackpot. However, the odds of winning larger games like Cash4Life or Cash 5 are much more challenging.
For Pick-3, the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 1,000. For Pick-4, the odds of winning the top prize are 1 in 10,000. For Cash 5, the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 962,598, and for Cash4Life, the odds of winning the top prize are 1 in 21,846,048.
