Just follow these simple steps to play Lotto:

• Ask any Lotto retailer for a Quick Pick, or pick up a play slip and mark your 6 lucky numbers between 1 and 42.
• Lotto Drawings are conducted every Wednesday and Saturday at approximately 7:35 p.m. in Pueblo, CO. Lotto tickets will be sold until 11:59 p.m. with sales starting at 4:30 a.m. the following morning on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
• Each play costs $1.

What Can I Win?

The Lotto jackpot usually starts at about $1.0 million annuity value and increases after each drawing when no ticket matches all 6 numbers drawn. The amount the jackpot increases depends upon the amount of sales between drawings. Prizes are also awarded for matching 3, 4, or 5 of 6 numbers. Upon presentation of a 6 of 6 winning ticket at the Lottery offices, Jackpot winners have the option of choosing Cash Value, which equals 50% of the annuity value and is paid in one lump sum, or the Annuity option which is paid in 25 annual installments. The first annuity payment is 2.5% of the jackpot share. Following payments increase 3.7% each year until the entire amount is paid.

Other Ways to Play

Advance Play, playing the same set of numbers for upcoming consecutive drawings, is available at any retailer that sells On-Line game tickets.
