The feedback is much appreciated everyone.

If this info was mentioned in the rules on the playslip or online, It went right over my head. But it makes sense now. Thanks.

Nice explanation!

The Jackpot, $1000 a week for life is paid off by quarterly payments of $13,000 and the $1000 a week for a year is paid off by one payment of $52,000.

apparently they draw 7 balls the last ball they draw is the free ball.

Here is the payout chart or you can look on the back of a play slip.

There is only one drawing. The 6 balls AND the Freeball all come out of one pool of numbers, 1-42.

From my understanding of the game you need to match 6 of 42 numbers to win the Grand Prize of $1K/wk/Life. There are two drawings - The first drawing is selecting the 6 out of 42 for the Grand Prize. Then, it is followed by a Free Ball drawing which is 1 of 42. This is Your extra number (FREE BALL) - they give you an extra ball (FB) to have a 2nd chance of winning something.

The Payouts are as follows

6 out of 42 (without the FB) = 1K/wk/for life.

5 out of 42 + the FB = 1K/wk/for 1 YR

I played a few tickets last weekend and figured I had the concept down: Pick 6 numbers and hope to win.

But when they posted the winning #s I had 2 of them but could not for the life of me find the 'free ball' on my ticket, which was 26.

I checked the ticket a few days later at a retailer and it was a loser as I suspected, but my question is:

Is the free ball posted on the ticket?

In essence am I supposed to match 7 numbers in order to win
