Your correct RJOh the Buckeye 5 payouts are setup a little differently than most.Just so people realize that most pick 5 and pick 6 games are parimutuel.Chas

keystonechas,Buckeye5 pays $100,000 for each first prize winner up to $1M, the other payouts are fixed. If there are more than ten winners, then the $1M is divided equally among the winners.RJOh

Always remember RJOh there is no guarantee you'll take home the jackpot all by yourself just because you bought all the possible combinations. Its a parimutuel game. Total number of winning tickets divided by the jackpot.Chas

The odds of one ticket winning first prize in a 5/37 game is 1:435,897, buy four tickets with four different combinations and it changes to 4:435,897 =1:108,974.Buy 435,897 different combinations and the odd changes to 437,897:435,897 =1:1 or 100% of a match.Having bought all the possible combinations in a Buckeye5 game you would win a total of $215,200.RJOh

The list matched 2 x4 times for $4, $1 more than the minimum expected and that stills a loss of $16.RJOh

Platinum298,I posted 20 lines for today's Buckeye5 in the pick5 section that have a 20:435,897 or 1:21,794 chance of winning the first prize, but they are more likely to win the minimum 1:8 of $2-$3.RJOh
