North 5 (formerly known as Northstar Cash) is a Minnesota Lottery original with the best odds of any MN draw game. Every day, players get a chance to take home a jackpot that starts at $25,000 and keeps growing until someone matches all five numbers. You can also add EZ Match for the opportunity to win up to $500 instantly.

North 5 shines bright with four ways to win; it boasts odds that are significantly better than Gopher 5, and it's over 1,000 times more winnable than Powerball!

The jackpot regularly clears the $200,000 mark and the average jackpot win is just over $43,000. The odds are so great that a player wins the top prize once a week on average, and it's never taken more than 17 draws to be won.
