How to Play

Pick up a playslip and let's get started! You can play up to five times on each playslip. First, select your draw time: Day, Night, or Both.

Next, decide how many drawings to play - up to seven draws in a row. To only play today's draw, leave this area blank. To play up to a week in advance, mark one or more days.

Mark four numbers from 0 to 9, one in each column. Or to have the lottery terminal choose your numbers, just mark Quick Pick.

Select your bet amount: $0.50 or $1.

Bet Types

The bet type you choose determines how your numbers can win; there's more information in the following section. Here's how each bet type can hit a payout:

  • Straight: Match the four winning numbers in the exact order drawn
  • Box: Match the four winning numbers in any order
  • Straight/Box: Both a $0.50 Straight bet and a $0.50 Box bet together on the same ticket (combined wager: $1)
