*IMPORTANT: Marking “Straight/Box” wager will increase the amount of your wager. Straight/Box wager is 2 wagers in 1. 50¢ Straight + 50¢ Box = $1 wager.
A $0.50 wager on a Straight or Box play will reduce the prize by half. A wager over $1 will multiply the prize by that dollar amount. Wager amounts higher than those shown above will multiply prize by that dollar amount –e.g. a winning $3.00 Straight wager would be worth $15,000, etc.
Additional Play Options
- Choose the amount you want to wager (50¢ to $10.00).
- Choose the DRAWTIME you want to play, (Midday -approximately 1:20 p.m. e.s.t., Evening -approximately 11:00 p.m. e.s.t., or Both). There is no Midday draw on Sunday
- Choose the number of drawings you want to play your numbers (2-7 consecutive drawings)
