Their marketing is geared toward playing all 15 numbers. They say directly in the promo ad, Play one POP or up to all 15 POPS for a guaranteed win .

Guaranteed win is not the same as guaranteed profit, so the ad is intentionally misleading. Then there is the 4 draws a day... granted they have keno every few minutes.

There are $1 bets through $20 bets.

Good luck if you play it.

So the minimum multiplier is x5. Odds of winning are 1:15, if you play a single number.

If you play 5 different numbers, you have 1/3 (5:15) probability of winning, and if you win you at least get back the $5 you played, but you could win with higher multipliers.

Quite fun, I must say .....

That's irrelevant. A lottery can sell the CashPop game without sharing any personal info with Brightstar. So, even if the company had issues with protecting information, the Lottery would not have shared any info with them.

Lottery just pay for the idea (like a patent) and the name....

Looking at their prizes, there are are 9 multipliers...

X5 - 1:31.05

X7 - 1:75

X10 - 1:105

X15 - 1:180, The level needed to break even on playing all 15

X20 - 1:270

X25 - 1:630

X50 - 1:2,250

X100 - 1:4,125

X250 - 1: 15,000

So the odds depend on which multiplier is assigned to which number, because the odds of the actual draw are 1:15.

So look at it like this... on $1 bet the odds are 15,000 to one on getting an x250 AND you need to beat the 15 to 1 odd... [ More ]

Already looks like they will be spitting out all low prizes like MM spits out 2x... when they say from 5x to 250x, they obviously mean 99% of the tickets will pay 5x.

How many folks will play all 15 numbers before they realize that like all other games it has a negative expectancy?

I expect this to go over for awhile until folks catch on...

That guaranteed win they claim for playing all 15 is actually a loss at the first 3 prize levels and break even on the 4th.

So another state is joining the Cash Pop game craze.

One thing of interest is that Brightstar Global owns the Cash Pop name.

Didn't Brightstar allegedly have a data breach in October 2025?

Does the PA Lottery know about this
