Cash 5 is a draw-style game in which players select five numbers from a fixed matrix. Match all five in a single panel and you take home the rolling jackpot, which starts at $100,000 and keeps growing until someone hits all five. Lower-tier prizes are paid for matching two, three, or four numbers, with fixed payouts that escalate as the match level increases.
