- How it works
- Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 42. Match 2 to 5 of the 5 numbers drawn, in any order, to win. Every play comes with a multiplier of x2 to x10 for its prizes below the jackpot.
- Jackpot
- The jackpot starts at $100,000 and grows every day it isn't won, by at least $10,000 or by the previous day's sales. It isn't multiplied, and winning plays share it equally.
- Multiplier
- The terminal prints a multiplier next to each play when you buy it, and it multiplies that play's prize for 2, 3 or 4 matches. There's no prize without one: the base prizes of $300, $5 and $1 are only for reference. A multi-draw ticket keeps the same multipliers for every drawing, and Play It Again reprints your last numbers with new ones.
- Prizes
- Prizes below the jackpot are set amounts, based on the expected number of winners. In some drawings they can be paid on a prize-sharing basis instead, and come out lower.
