- How it works
- Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 39. Five numbers are drawn, then a Bonus Ball from the 34 left. Match 3, 4 or all 5 of the 5 numbers to win, or 2 to 4 of them plus the Bonus Ball for more.
- Liability limit
- The $50,000 top prize is fixed and doesn't roll over. The lottery pays it on up to 12 boards in a drawing; if more than 12 boards match all 5 numbers, they share $600,000 equally instead. Every other prize is fixed, and each board wins only its highest prize.
- Prizes
- Boards bought together cost less: 3 for $2, 4 for $3, 6 for $4, 7 for $5 and 9 for $6. Each board plays on its own, so a $2 ticket of 3 boards wins something about 1 in 17, and the top prize about 1 in 191,919.
- Advance Play
- Instead of starting with the next drawing, a ticket can be for one later drawing alone, chosen by its day of the week.
