- How it works
- Pick 6 numbers from 1 to 49, sold two plays for $1. Match 3 to 6 of the 6 numbers drawn, in any order, to win.
- Jackpot
- The jackpot starts at $1 million and grows until a play matches all 6 numbers, and winning plays share it equally. A winner has 60 days after claiming to choose 25 equal yearly payments or one cash payment of half their share of the advertised jackpot. Without a choice, it's paid yearly.
- Prizes
- Prizes below the jackpot are set amounts, and each play wins only its highest prize.
- Advance Play
- You can also buy a ticket for one future drawing, as far ahead as the 25th drawing.
