- How it works
- Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 32. Match 2 to 5 of the 5 numbers drawn, in any order, to win.
- Liability limit
- The $20,000 top prize is fixed and doesn't roll over. If more than 10 plays win it in one drawing, $200,000 is split equally among them instead. Prizes for 2, 3 and 4 numbers are always paid in full, and each play wins only its highest prize.
- EZ Match
- EZ Match prints five numbers under your Cash 5 play, each with a prize from $2 to $500 assigned at random. Each one that matches a number in your play wins its prize right away, so a play can win up to five times. It doesn't change your Cash 5 play. EZ Match covers every play on the ticket, and each play prints on its own ticket. You can cash an EZ Match prize before the drawing and get an exchange ticket for the Cash 5 play. On an Advance Play ticket it covers the first drawing only.
