"Weekly Winnings" replaces outgoing Ca$h 4 game

By Todd Northrop

PHOENIX, Ariz. — The Arizona Lottery announced a new draw game called Weekly Winnings, which launches Saunday, Sept. 23, and offers a top prize of $1,000 per week for an entire year, taxes paid.

Weekly Winnings has a prize structure unlike any other draw game currently being offered. With each ticket, players will have the chance to win up to six times. A top prize winner can select a payout of $1,000 per week for a year or a lump sum payment of $52,000, taxes paid.

"The addition of Weekly Winnings to our selection of Arizona Lottery products is a direct response to our players' requests for new games and more ways to win," said Karen Bach, Director of Budget, Products and Communications for the Arizona Lottery. "We are thrilled to launch Weekly Winnings and expect it to be extremely popular with our players."

Weekly Winnings game play consists of self-selecting the first set of four numbers out of a pool of 50 numbers or choosing a computer-generated Quick Pick for the top prize of $1,000 per week for one year. The computer then selects the additional five sets of numbers for the second and third prize categories. Prizes for a winning ticket are awarded when a player matches each number within one of the sets of numbers. Only the highest prize within each set of numbers will be paid. Prizes, not including the top prize, range from $2 to $10,000.

Tickets for Weekly Winnings will cost $2 each with drawings every Tuesday and Friday at approximately 9:40 p.m. MST. Weekly Winnings will replace Arizona Lottery's current draw game, CA$H4.

Weekly Winnings winning numbers will be published at Lottery Post's Arizona Lottery Results page soon after each drawing takes place on Tuesdays and Fridays.

The game is exciting as it is.  Weekly Winnings will definitely be accepted by lottery players as part of their daily lottery routines... Goodluck to everyone who will try and play this game.

Ronnie316 are you going to bite at this new game?

Would winning a grand a week for a year, be enough to satisfy your voracious appetite for big lottery winnings?   Lurking

They raise the price and wonder why profits are down. Might be worth playing if it was pre-taxed.

No,  but no matter where the Californian residents buy their PB tix, their chances still improve by a factor of 1000, simply because they are from

California. Jester Laugh
