The game requires players to match five numbered balls and those that do will win $35,211, or $25,000 after taxes. Lottery officials are hoping the new game will prevent a drop-off in sales after the first full year of the lottery. The Lottery Commission is estimating sales and other earnings will bring in more than $400 million in the next fiscal year and provide education with at least $124 million.

Lottomike, if you remember TN started their lotto 5 game before cash 4. How are you going to win if you don't play? | | |

Hopefully without the computer picking the numbers. That is what I was waiting for Todd...the other shoe to drop. I saw the heading and thought time to see if the computer drawings has reached into OK yet...unfortunately it will happen... Jimmy, the old ShowMe 5 game had 30 balls, so that is a strong possibility. $25,000 max for jackpot, taxes paid. They still are here. 5/44 game gets $50,000 max but lower tiers can pay up to $750 if you get 4 out of 5. Best of Luck All, Bryan :) | | |

top payout with five picks is rather miserly. Not a great incentive to play... ________________________________ Wanna Make God laugh? ..Tell him your plans. | | |

you're all in luck, its gonna be a ball and machine draw. Smartplay reports on their site they own their gems for pick 3 and they own a criterion. | | |
