$5 MILLION JACKPOT
Six numbers from 1 – 49 are drawn for a top prize of a fixed $5 million jackpot. You can win prizes ranging from a Free Play up to the jackpot.
GOLD BALL JACKPOT
UP TO $68 MILLION
Each $3 LOTTO 6/49 play includes a unique 10-digit Gold Ball Draw Number. A winning number is drawn from all selections for each draw.

GOLD BALL JACKPOT DRAW
- The Gold Ball Jackpot starts at $10 million and can grow to $68 Million!
- It starts with 30 balls – 29 white balls each representing a $1 million prize and 1 Gold Ball representing the growing jackpot.
- If a white ball is drawn, a $1 million prize is won. That ball is removed leaving 28 white balls and 1 gold ball for the next draw, and the jackpot grows by $2 million.
- Draws continue in this manner until the Gold Ball is drawn and the jackpot is won.
- Once the Gold Ball Jackpot is won, the draw resets to 30 balls and the jackpot starts back at $10 million.
- If the Gold Ball Jackpot keeps growing until no white balls remain and only the Gold Ball is left – the jackpot can reach $68 million!
