Exact order play
Straight

Win the biggest prize with this play type. To do it you will have to match all four numbers in the exact in which they are drawn.

This play type offers more flexibility. You can match numbers in any order they are drawn and you will still win! There's different ways to match numbers in this play type. Look at our 'Ways to Match Box' section to read up on each one.

50/50 Play
Straight/Box

Split a $1 wager in two so you can bet $0.50 on both the Straight and Box play types at once. This means if you win the Straight prize, you will automatically win the Box prize as well!

Combo Play
Combo

Play an individual straight bet on every single combination your numbers could come up in! You can play either 4, 6, 12 or 24 straight bets.

Ways to Match Box

You win the Box play type by matching numbers in any order - but there are multiple ways to do this. For instance, you can either match two pairs of numbers or four different numbers.

Each way is named after the amount of winning number combinations you can make (4-way, 6-way, 12-way or 24-way). Look at each one below as well as their descriptions and odds of winning.
