- How it works
- Pick 6 different numbers from 1 to 44, and 6 are drawn every Tuesday and Friday. Match all 6, in any order, for the jackpot, or 3, 4 or 5 for a smaller prize.
- Jackpot
- The jackpot starts at $1 million and grows with sales until someone matches all 6 numbers, and winners share it equally. It's 34.182% of each drawing's sales, rolling over until won, and its advertised amount is the total of 21 equal yearly payments. A winning share over $100,000 is paid as cash or as 21 yearly payments, chosen within 60 days of claiming, and in cash if no choice is made. A share of $100,000 or less is paid in cash.
- Prizes
- The 5-of-6 and 4-of-6 prizes are pari-mutuel: shares of 6.45979% and 7.46913% of sales, split equally among their winners and rounded to the nearest dollar, so the amounts shown are estimates. Money not won rolls over to the same prize in the next drawing. The $2 prize for 3 of 6 is fixed, and each play wins only its highest prize.
