About Lotto 6/49
Lotto 6/49 offers two prizes for each draw - the regular jackpot that starts at $5 Million, plus the Guaranteed $1 Million Prize every draw.
How to Play
Each $3 play gets you one set of 6 numbers from 1 – 49, plus a bonus number. Choose the set of 6 numbers yourself, or ask for a Quick Pick to have a random set of numbers chosen for you. The bonus number is randomly selected for you. Your $3 ticket also automatically gets you one 10-digit number for the Guaranteed $1 Million Prize draw. Draws happen every Wednesday and Saturday night after 7:30pm PT(8:30pm MT, 9:30pm CT, 10:30pm ET, 11:30pm AT)
How to Win
Each Wednesday and Saturday night, 6 main numbers and 1 bonus number will be drawn at random from among all numbers from 1 to 49. One Guaranteed Prize Draw Selection will also be drawn.
If your Lotto 6/49 numbers match the 6 winning numbers drawn, you win the jackpot! Other prizes are also offered for matching 2,3,4,5 of 6 numbers and the bonus number.
