PA Lottery Match 6 Lotto Jackpot at $3.3 Million for Tonight's Drawing
MIDDLETOWN, Pa., Aug. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Look what happened while everyone was paying attention to Powerball: the Pennsylvania Lottery's Match 6 Lotto jackpot grew to $3.3 million. If won, it would be the fifth-largest jackpot in the game's history.
The next drawing is at 6:59 p.m. tonight, Thursday, Aug. 8.
The odds of winning the Match 6 Lotto jackpot are approximately 1-in-4,661,272, some of the Pennsylvania Lottery's best odds of winning a multimillion-dollar jackpot.
Match 6 Lotto players have been watching the jackpot grow since one ticket matched all six winning numbers in the May 13 drawing.
How to Play Match 6 Lotto: Match 6 tickets cost $2 each. Players can choose six numbers from 1 to 49 or have numbers randomly selected by computer. The computer will then randomly select an additional two sets of six numbers, for three lines of six numbers each or 18 numbers total. Players can win up to four times on each ticket – once on each of three lines (base play) and by combining all 18 numbers (combined play).
Match 6 Lotto drawings are held on Monday and Thursday evenings.
