Win by matching two or three numbers!

Decide how many days and which days of the week you want to play.
You can purchase tickets for up to 6 consecutive drawings. Just mark the appropriate box in the MULTI-DRAW section of the play slip. Cost is $1 per play, per draw.
How to Play:
Each play slip has five plays lettered A–E. You may play up to five different sets of numbers on one play slip at $1 for each play. For each play, choose three numbers, each from a field of 0 to 9, by marking a number in each column with blue or black ink or pencil; or mark “Quick Pick” and the terminal will randomly select your numbers. Each play selected will produce a single ticket.

How to Win:
