I looked at that 5/47, but didn't count it because it was only a twice a week game, but for completeness, you're right. Gopher 5 @ 47 c 5 ~ 1,533,939. Guess we'll call that the Great Grand Dad of the P5 Games.

That WI 31 c 5 might be worth the drive if the prizes were decent, but it starts at only $10K and rolls up slow. May as well stay home and put 2 bucks on P4 .

A 30 c 5 (142,506) would be sweet if the prizes are good. That's like the old IL Little Lotto game, not like the crappy 3... [ More ]

Minnesota has both the hardest pick-5 and a tie for the easiest pick-5. Gopher 5 which is a 5/47, and Northstar Cash, as mentioned before, is a 5/31. Wisconsin also has a 5/31, Badger 5.

Something about putting animals into the names of games sounds weird to me, imagine Louisiana having a game called Pelican 5 .

There is a straight 5/30 coming to PA, when that comes out it will be the easiest.

Indiana's Pick 5 is 5/36. Comes out to 1 : 376,992. I could probably do pretty good on that game.

Yep. Looks like MN has the current smallest P-5 game.

Its called Northstar Cash @ 5/31. Pays little, too ~ $25K

31 c 5 ~ 169,911

And at the other end of difficulty, we have the GrandDaddy , Missouri's Show Me Five ~ $50K

44 c 5 ~ 1,086,008

(my mistake at posting the 40 c 5 games, before

Well, looks like the 5/40 is the most challenging P-5.

What about the other end of the spectrum? Is there any P-5 game smaller than the Colorado 5/32

I think the ohio lotto no matter what game you play is hard to hit.

I have tried the systems here at LP for all games and they are always on number up or down!

The fun is in the chase.
