An Exact Order play has the slimmest odds to win but if you do manage to match all numbers in their drawn order, you’ll also win the top jackpot of $5,000.
With the Any Order play, your numbers can match in any order to win. The fun part of this play type is that different number combinations will have different odds of winning and the prizes will change accordingly.
For a 50/50 play, your wager is split so that half of your wager will go on the Exact Order play, the other will go on the Any Order play. It’s the best of both worlds as you can win prizes for both play types if you win the Exact Order play!
This play type boosts your chances of winning more prizes in exchange for a higher ticket cost. The Combo Play is basically making a wager on any combination of the 4 numbers that you choose.
