- How it works
- Pick 5 different numbers from 1 to 43. Match 2 to 5 of the 5 numbers drawn, in any order, to win.
- Jackpot
- The jackpot starts at $150,000 and grows after each drawing it isn't won, by its share of that drawing's sales. Winning plays share it equally, and if the jackpot announced before the drawing is more than its share, the announced amount is paid. It's paid in one lump sum, rounded down to the nearest 50¢, with no yearly payments.
- Prizes
- Every prize below the jackpot is a set cash amount, and each play wins only its highest drawing prize. Each $2 play also prints one Quick Cash game on a separate ticket: if any of its 5 YOUR NUMBERS matches any of its 5 WINNING NUMBERS, you win the prize shown, $2 (1 in 5.00) or $6 (1 in 80.00), or 1 in 4.71 overall. Quick Cash is decided when you buy, so it can be cashed before the drawing.
