For every play, choose any five-digit number from 00000 to 99999. Alternatively, Quick Pick can randomly generate the numbers for you.
Your play type determines the prizes you're eligible for and the chances of winning. You can only pick one play type for your numbers (which means this lottery is all-or-nothing with regard to prizes), so choose carefully!
Play the Day draw at 1:35 PM ET, the Evening draw at 6:59 PM ET, or both. You may also Advance Play your numbers and play type to enter up to seven consecutive draws on one ticket.
Wild Ball is an add-on for all Pennsylvania Pick games that can create more chances to win. The Lottery draws a random one-digit Wild Ball at the start of each draw. Use the Wild Ball number to replace one of the official winning numbers for the chance to match extra winning combos!
Adding the Wild Ball massively boosts your odds of winning a prize, but any prizes that rely on the Wild Ball are lower than the regular prizes. In certain cases, it's actually possible to win the main game prize and a Wild Ball prize on the same ticket!
