Annuity or Cash option

You can choose how to collect your Lotto America jackpot--30 annual payments (over 29 years) or one cash payment (present value*)--up to 60 days after you become entitled to the prize. The annuity option gives players annual payments that increase each year--projected at 5 percent.

• if you choose cash, the present cash value is less than the advertised jackpot, which is based on a 30-year annuity.

How to Play

Pick five numbers between 1 and 52 for your five red ball numbers by marking the left side of the Lotto America play slip. Then, pick one number between 1 and 10 for your Star Ball® number by marking the right side of the Lotto America play slip, or mark the quick pick box on the play slip.

Each play costs $1 and you can pick up to five different sets of numbers on each play slip. You can purchase the same numbers for consecutive drawings when you use the multi-draw box on the play slip.

Tickets can be purchased from 5:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. (Central Time) any day of the week except from 9:00 p.m. to 9:03 p.m. on drawing nights. Review your play slip carefully before giving it to the clerk. Once printed, a ticket cannot be canceled. Check your tickets before leaving the store.

All Star Bonus®

Lotto America features a prize multiplier option called the All Star Bonus. Players may add the $1 All Star Bonus to have the chance to multiply prizes between $2 and $20,000 by two, three, four or five times. The All Star Bonus multiplier does not apply to the jackpot prize. The All Star Bonus number is chosen from a field of 32 numbers according to the following frequency: three (3) number 5s, four (4) number 4s, ten (10) number 3s, and fifteen (15) number 2s.

The winning numbers will be announced every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday after 9:15 p.m. Central Time.
