Official Lottery Rules and Player Participation

Numbers

If you are playing Pick 2, choose numbers from 00 through 99. If you are playing Pick 3, choose numbers from 000 through 999. If you are playing Pick 4, choose numbers from 0000 through 9999. If you are playing Pick 5, choose numbers from 00000 through 99999.

Choose to play your numbers straight or boxed.

"Straight" means that your selected ticket numbers must match the winning numbers in exact order. The payout for a Pick 2 straight ticket is 90 to 1. The payout for a Pick 3 straight ticket is 900 to 1. The payout for a Pick 4 straight ticket is 9,000 to 1. The payout for a Pick 5 straight ticket is 90,000 to 1.

"Boxed" means your numbers can match the winning ticket in any order. This gives you more chances of winning, but your payout is less. A boxed payout is calculated by dividing the straight payout by the number of chances you have with your boxed numbers.

Example:

Straight

If you play Pick 3 numbers 1-1-1, you only have 1 chance of winning and your payout would be as follows:
900 / 1 = 900 to 1.

Boxed

If you play Pick 3 numbers 1-2-3, you have 6 different chances of winning and your payout would be as follows:
900 / 6 = 150 to 1.

• Check the payouts section to view all the straight and boxed payouts.

The cost of your tickets is calculated this way:
Amount of wager x number of drawings x number of days.

Amounts

• The minimum amount for any lottery ticket is $0.25.
• The maximum for a Pick 2 ticket is $1111.11
• The maximum for a Pick 3 ticket is $111.11
• The maximum for a Pick 4 ticket is $11.11
• The maximum for a Pick 5 ticket is $1.11

Drawings

Select the drawings in which the winning numbers will be used. You may check off as many drawings as you would like to play.

Off times are shown in Eastern Standard Time and are 15 minutes prior to the official closing time. If you select a drawing for today whose Off Time has passed, you will be purchasing a ticket for the next drawing. This will be reflected in the "Confirmation" screen and the "Review Tickets" screen.

Some states may have a Special Double Draw, but these specials will not be considered winning combinations; we will only pay the regular Daily/Evening Draw. Only the initial drawing is valid for grading purposes. Follow up promotions, additional draws, or subsequent added numbers after the initial drawings will not count towards Lotto grading.

In the event of a drawing not taking place, management will allow 24 hours prior to grading the corresponding tickets as “No Action”.

Purchasing Tickets

Lotto tickets are official at the exact time you click on purchase. If you started placing your NY Midday Pick 3 ticket at 1:58pm ET but you clicked on purchase at 2:00 pm ET, the ticket will be held for the next available drawing date as NY Midday Pick 3 closing time is 2pm ET. A pop-up window alert with the ticket details will always appear prior to your purchase confirmation.

ALL LOTTO TICKETS ARE FINAL AFTER CONFIRMATION and cannot be voided for any reason.

Maximum Net Profit per drawing is $100,000. Also, drawings using the same results (like ME, NH & VT) will be considered as ONE drawing for max profit purposes. Net profits per drawing include straight and boxed tickets for Pick 2, Pick 3, Pick 4 and Pick 5, as well as profits from multiple accounts wagering in conjunction with each other.
