- How it works
- Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 42. Match 2 to 5 of the 5 numbers drawn, in any order, to win.
- Jackpot
- The Cashpot starts at $100,000 and grows until a play matches all 5 numbers. Winning plays share it equally, and it's paid in one payment, with no yearly option.
- Prizes
- Prizes below the Cashpot are set amounts, each play wins only its highest prize, and matching 2 numbers wins a free Hit 5 play.
- Advance Play
- You can also buy a ticket for one future drawing, as far ahead as the 25th drawing.
