Oklahoma lottery officials announced a new game will start that's "similar to Powerball", although the game appears to have much more in common with Pick 5-style games.
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.
Five numbers out of how many? Does the Oklahoma Lottery site have any details?
Sounds like a 5 out of 29 matrix.
what about pick 4????
they'll be just like california and texas and not offer it.
a 5/29 matrix would be easy to hit.wish i could play if it is offered!
Lottomike, if you remember TN started their lotto 5 game before cash 4.
thats true tnplayer.i wish we had an easier matrix here in TN......
Seems like Jim Scroggins is bringing back the old Show Me 5 from MO.
Hopefully without the computer picking the numbers.
I wonder if there will be a rollover if nobody wins?
Where is the remaining $276 million is going to be spent on?
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,

top payout with five picks is rather miserly. Not a great incentive to play...
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.
