Play 5 is the Delaware Lottery’s newest ‘pick-style’ game. It gives you various ways to play and win, and it is possible to get payouts of up to $50,000. There are two daily drawings - a Day draw at 1:58PM and a Night draw at 7:57 PM (ET). Check out the latest numbers after every drawing.
The following table shows the prizes you can win for each bet type. The payout depends on a number of factors, including the amount you bet. For Box bets, the combination of numbers you select is also important, as this influences the odds and potential prizes. You can find descriptions and examples in the table.
