Nebraska Lottery to Join Lotto America® Game
Lotto America®, the multi-state lottery game, is coming to Nebraska on May 19, 2024.
Lotto America is a game that offers a rolling jackpot starting at $2 million and nine ways to win a prize. You can also add the All Star Bonus® option for an extra $1 per play and multiply your non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4 or 5 times.
To play Lotto America, pick five numbers between 1 and 52 plus one Star Ball® number between 1 and 10. You can choose your own numbers or let the terminal randomly pick them for you. Each Lotto America play costs $1.
To win the jackpot prize, players must match all six winning numbers. The jackpot can be paid as an annuity with 30 graduated payments over 29 years, or one lump sum payment. Other cash prizes range from $20,000 to $2.
Lotto America drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday after 9:15 p.m. Central Time. Winning numbers will be available at the Nebraska Lottery website, nelottery.com, on the Nebraska Lottery mobile app, and on the Nebraska Lottery Player’s Hotline at 800-224-LUCK (402-471-6139 in Lincoln).
