How to Play
Choose six numbers from 1 to 49 on a bet card, or let the terminal pick with Auto Pick. Each wager costs $1, and you can play up to ten consecutive drawings on a single ticket with the multidraw option. Match all six numbers drawn to win the jackpot; if nobody hits all six, the jackpot rolls and keeps growing from its $1 million starting point. Add KICKER for an extra $1 — a six-digit game available only on Classic Lotto tickets, with a top prize of $100,000. Not sure which numbers to play?
