- How it works
- Pick 5 different numbers from 1 to 38. Win with 3 or more of the 5 numbers drawn, or with 1 or more and the Extra Ball, drawn from the 33 numbers left. The numbers match in any order.
- Jackpot
- The jackpot starts at $20,000 and grows with each drawing until a play matches all 5 numbers. Winning plays share it equally.
- Prizes
- The Extra Ball is drawn after the 5 numbers, from the 33 left. It counts when it matches one of your 5 numbers that the 5 drawn didn't, and it only decides the set prizes below the jackpot. Each play wins only its highest prize.
