- How it works
- Each number you pick from 1 to 15 is a play of its own, at $1, $2, $5 or $10, and you can play all 15. A prize from 5 to 250 times your play is printed under each number when you buy it, and you win it if that number is drawn. Cash POP is sold only in stores and lottery vending machines, not online.
- Prizes
- Prizes are fixed and picked at random by the terminal when you buy your ticket, from 5 to 250 times the amount you play on that number, so you know what each number can win before the drawing. Play all 15 numbers and one of them is sure to win. The odds shown are for each number you play.
- Advance Play
- Tickets are always for the next drawing, so you can't choose a draw time.
