$2Daily5 × [143]

Overview

Cash 5 is Pennsylvania’s daily 5/43 jackpot game. Pick five numbers from 1–43 for $2 per play. The jackpot is paid as a lump sum (no annuity). Every Cash 5 ticket also includes Quick Cash, an instant game with prizes of $2 or $6. Draws are every night at 6:59 p.m. ET; sales close at 6:57 p.m.

How to play — step by step

  1. 1. Select 5 numbers

    Choose 5 numbers from 1 to 43, or mark Quick Pick and let the terminal choose.

  2. 2. Pick five from 1–43

    Mark five numbers on a playslip panel or use Quick Pick. You can play up to five panels per slip.

  3. 3. Quick Cash prints automatically

    Quick Cash is an instant win add-on that prints with every Cash 5 ticket. Match its printed values for $2 or $6 right away — it is separate from the evening drawing.

  4. 4. Choose how many drawings

    Pay $2 per play (add-ons cost extra). Tell the retailer how many consecutive drawings you want, or mark Advance Play on the slip.
