As they said at the Ohio lottery, for a dollar you'll have lots of fun.

$50 for 4/5 and $2 for 3/5 seem very small for a Pick 5 game. But the two-number prize in the 5/31 seems to make up for it.

NJ Cash 5 has 40 balls. Their payout varies:

Jackpot starts at $50K and keeps rising until someone hits

4 of 5 payout varies, but ranges between ~$350 to over $600

3 of 5 payout varies, but averages $10-12

There is no compensation for 2 of 5

The Illinois Little Lotto ( 5 / 39) is a jackpot that starts at $100,000 and grows until hit, the lower prizes are

4 of 5 $100

3 of 5 $10

2 of 5 $1

So on other words, if you're watching the drawing and you don't have a number it goes

hoping for the jjackpot, hoping for $100, hoping for $10, maybe $1, darn!

It used to be a top prize of a constant $200,000 ( 5 / 30) and the lower prizes were an aggregate payout depending on if the jackpot got hit or not.

guys was wandering if you all could tell me your ideas about payouts.

number1. What do you think would be the best payout in any pick5 (only in pick5) provided it selects 5 numbers that go from 1 to 35.
