- How it works
- Each $2 play is 5 cards dealt at random from a 52-card deck. In the nightly drawing, match 2, 3, 4 or all 5 of the 5 cards drawn, rank and suit, in any order, to win a set prize. The same cards also win instantly if they make a pair of jacks or better.
- Prizes
- Your 5 cards win an instant prize if they make a poker hand: $5,000 for a royal flush, $500 for a straight flush, $150 for four of a kind, $75 for a full house, $50 for a flush, $20 for a straight, $5 for three of a kind, $3 for two pair and $2 for a pair of jacks or better. About 1 play in 5 wins instantly, and 1 in 4 wins something. Aces count high or low in a straight. The same cards then play the nightly drawing, where matching cards, rank and suit, in any order, wins a set prize.
