5 Card Cash
5 Card Cash was a Kentucky Lottery poker-style game that gave players two ways to win on every hand! Instant Win had the thrill of an immediate cash prize, plus there was a second chance to win on the daily draw. With chances to win up to $5,000 instantly and up to $100,000 on the drawing.
As this game has now retired, the information below is for reference purposes only.
The drawing takes place at 11 pm ET six nights a week, Monday through Saturday. Ticket sales close at 10:45 pm for that evening's draw.
Even if you've never played poker before, you can still enjoy 5 Card Cash because no card-playing skill is involved. Each ticket is a Quick Pick, with five card symbols randomly selected by the lottery computer from a total of 52. Players cannot choose their own cards.
Each play costs $2.00 and includes both ways to win, so keep your ticket safe and make sure to check the nightly draw results.
