Welcome to Maryland Multi-Match! The Maryland Lottery game with four ways to win and a $500,000 minimum jackpot. The jackpot rolls up until it's won and can be truly massive, so get involved – if you won, would you take the cash option or the annuity?
Tickets are $2 each and draws take place on Monday and Thursday nights at 11:22 PM (ET). Ticket sales close at 11:17 PM, shortly before that evening's draw.
True to its name, there's more than one way to win a Multi-Match prize, and you can even win more than one prize per ticket: Players have one chance to win on each of their three lines, and the fourth way to win is by combining the matches across all three lines.
If you match three or more numbers on a single line, you'll win a prize, including the jackpot for matching all six. Match at least five numbers across all three lines to win a secondary prize – the top prize for this category is $2,000, which you can win by matching 10 or more numbers.
Check the tables below for details on the amount you could win on single lines and across multiple lines, along with the odds of winning. If you match all six number and hit the jackpot, you'll have the option of receiving your prize as a single cash lump sum payment, or an annuity paid in 25 installments.

If you combine your matches across all three lines on your ticket, it is possible to get seven or more matches.
