- How it works
- Pick 4 numbers from 1 to 31 and a Bonus number from 1 to 16. Win with 2 or more of the 4 numbers drawn, in any order, or with the Bonus number, which adds $10 to any prize or wins $10 on its own.
- Jackpot
- The jackpot is progressive: it starts at $2,500 and grows with every play sold across Montana until a play matches all 4 numbers. A jackpot play that also matches the Bonus number wins $10 more.
- Prizes
- Every prize but the jackpot is a set amount. Matching the Bonus number adds $10 to what the 4 numbers win: $30 with 3 numbers, $12 with 2, and $10 with 1 number or none.
