On April 23, 1992, the Pennsylvania Lottery introduced its longest-running jackpot game, Cash 5. Originally, Cash 5 players selected five numbers from 1 to 39 for a chance at the all-cash jackpot, starting at $100,000. Cash 5 started as a weekly game and eventually became a nightly drawing in 1998. In February 2008, the Lottery made a change to Cash 5, increasing the matrix from 5 of 39 numbers to 5 of 43 numbers.
 
On March 23, 2021, Cash 5 relaunched as Cash 5 with Quick Cash; the same nightly draw game that players have always enjoyed, but the relaunched game offered an additional chance to instantly win $2 or $6.
