This fun pirate-themed Pennsylvania Lottery game has a starting jackpot of $10,000 that can be won every day during the 1:35 PM ET draw. Tickets cost just $1, and you can win a prize by matching just 2/5 numbers from 1 to 30 - a very small pool for this kind of draw game! Match all five to win the jackpot.
Win a prize by matching two or more of the numbers drawn, and land the jackpot by matching all five. Check the table below for all the prizes and chances of winning.
The jackpot starts at $10,000 and rolls up for every draw it's not won. The Treasure Hunt jackpot regularly passes the $50k mark, and has been known to even pass $150,000! The amount the jackpot increases by during a rollover is not fixed since it depends on ticket sales for the previous draw - it is often around $20,000 per day.

We like Treasure Hunt because the format is just classic - no extra bells or whistles, just pick your numbers and wait for the draw. Not to mention, the jackpot odds are great compared to similar games in other states. The pirate theme also adds to the fun! Here's how it works…
Get started by picking five lucky numbers from 1 to 30, or select the Quick Pick option if you'd prefer a random computer-generated selection.
It's easy to play multiple times - you can enter your chosen numbers in up to seven consecutive drawings in advance, using the Number of Draws section on your playslip.
You can play up to five times on each playslip - each panel is one $1 game. Ticket sales for the 1:35 PM ET draw end at 1:05 PM, so don't leave it too late to get your tickets!
It’s a standard draw game but has been given a pirate theme for a bit of extra fun. When the results are announced, the numbers pop out of treasure chests during the animated drawing.
You have to be at least 18 years old to play.
As with all PA Lottery draw games, you have one year to come forward and claim any prizes you win.
