- How it works
- Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 45, sold two plays for $1. Match 2 to 5 of the 5 numbers drawn, in any order, to win.
- Jackpot
- The jackpot starts at $20,000 and grows each drawing it isn't won. Winning plays share it equally, and it's paid in one cash payment, with no yearly payments.
- Prizes
- Prizes below the jackpot are set amounts, and matching 2 numbers wins a free Quick Pick ticket. The odds here are for one play. Idaho prints its odds for a $1 ticket of two plays, so its figures are half these: 1 in 3,054 for $200, against 1 in 6,108.80 for one play.
