- How it works
- Pick 4 numbers from 1 to 35 and a Bonus Ball from a separate 1 to 35. Win with any match that includes the Bonus Ball, or with 3 or 4 of the 4 numbers, in any order.
- Jackpot
- The jackpot starts at $200,000 and grows each drawing until a play matches all 4 numbers and the Bonus Ball, and winners share it equally. Every prize, the jackpot included, is paid in one payment.
- Prizes
- The prizes for 4 of 4, 3 plus the Bonus Ball, 3 of 4 and 2 plus the Bonus Ball are shares of sales, split equally among their winners and rounded to the nearest dollar, so the amounts shown are estimates. The $7 and $5 prizes are fixed. The Bonus Ball is drawn from its own 1 to 35, so it can be the same as one of the 4 numbers.
