Colorado Cash 5 is a daily draw game which costs just $1 to play and has a jackpot of $20,000. With four other ways to win, the odds of winning are far more favorable than many other lotteries. You can also add EZ Match for even more chances to win.
To win the Cash 5 jackpot, you need all five of the numbers you have selected to be the same as the five numbers drawn by the Colorado Lottery. The prize is worth a fixed $20,000 per winner. There are also fixed prizes for matching two, three or four numbers out of five. The table below shows all the payouts and odds of winning.

If you select the EZ Match option for an extra $1, a series of EZ Match numbers are randomly generated and printed on the lower part of your ticket. Each one is accompanied by a prize value. If any of these numbers match the numbers you have picked (not the numbers drawn), you win the associated prize amount and can claim it right there and then. See the table below for all the possible payouts and the odds of winning.

| $500 | 1 in 42,000 |

Select five numbers from 1 to 32. If you don’t want to choose your own numbers, get a Quick Pick and the lottery terminal will generate a set for you.
You can play just the next draw, or enter multiple consecutive drawings. The Advance Play box on your playslip allows you to enter up to 91 draws – that’s 13 weeks without missing out!
For an extra $1 per play, you can add the EZ Match option to give you the opportunity to win up to $500 at check-out.
Draws take place every day at approximately 7:35 PM MT.
You must purchase tickets by the cut-off time of 7:30 PM MT.
All winners receive $20,000, even if there are multiple players that match all the numbers. There is a prize liability limit of $200,000, so in the very unlikely event that there were more than 10 winners, this sum would have to be divided equally.
Cash 5 costs $1 per play, plus an additional $1 if you include EZ Match.
You have to be at least 18 years old to buy a lottery ticket or claim a prize in Colorado.
The Colorado Lottery is not responsible for lost and damaged tickets, so it is your duty to keep entries safe. You won’t be able to claim on a lost ticket, but a damaged one could possibly still be valid if enough information can be read.
