The Maryland Lottery launched Cash Pop on Monday, giving players access to the game that has seen a rise in popularity among other states over the last few years.
Cash Pop is officially available in Maryland, with four drawings a day for players to participate in.
"We're always looking for ways to innovate, and adding Cash Pop gives us a game that's different from our other daily draw games," Lottery Product Development Director Kate Airey said in a statement to Lottery Post. "We think the simplicity of it creates the chance for engagement with people who aren't regular lottery players."
