Pick your family with Pick 5!
The Louisiana Lottery has added a third game to its family of daily numbers games that currently include Pick 3 and Pick 4. With a top prize of $50,000, Pick 5 has both old favorite and brand-new play types!
As the name suggests, a 5-digit number is drawn. Players must match at least two of the digits in exact or any order to win a prize, depending upon the play type selected and the amount of the wager (50 cents or $1).
Also, like Pick 3 and Pick 4, Pick 5 can be played straight (all digits must match in exact order to win), box (all digits must match in any order to win) or straight/box (combines a 50-cent straight play and a 50-cent box play). The top prize for a $1 straight play is $50,000 or $25,000 for a 50-cent straight play with odds of 1 in 100,000.
In addition to these tried-and-true play types, the Lottery has introduced six new ways to play and win with Pick 5! Players will be able to match just the first or last two, three or four digits in the 5-digit winning sequence to win. These new play types are called Front Pair, Back Pair, Front Three, Back Three, Front Four and Back Four. Prizes for these play types range from $50 to $5,000 for a $1 wager; odds range from 1 in 100 to 1 in 10,000 respectively.
A complete list of prizes and odds for each play type and wager amount will be available on the Pick 5 prize chart on the Lottery’s website at www.louisianalottery.com/pick-5. Try Pick 5 today at a retailer near you!
