How to Play Pick 2

$1Daily2 × [09] + 1 × [0–9]

Overview

PICK 2 is Pennsylvania’s two-digit daily numbers game. Pick two digits from 0–9 and a play type such as Straight, Box, Front Digit, Back Digit, Super Straight, or Straight/Box. Draws are twice daily (Day after 1:35 p.m. and Evening at 6:59 p.m. ET). Wild Ball is an optional add-on digit drawn with every PICK game.

How to play — step by step

  1. 1. Select 2 numbers

    Choose 2 numbers from 0 to 9, or mark Quick Pick and let the terminal choose.

  2. 2. Select 1 bonus number

    Choose 1 bonus number from 0 to 9. This ball is drawn separately from the main numbers.

  3. 3. Choose a play type

    Straight matches exact order ($50 at 1 in 100). Box matches any order of two distinct digits ($25 at 1 in 50). Front or Back Digit pays $5 at 1 in 10.

  4. 4. Add Wild Ball (optional)

    Wild Ball draws one extra digit from 0–9 with each PICK draw. If substituting the Wild Ball for one of your digits creates a winning combination, you win the published Wild Ball prize for that play type.

  5. 5. Choose how many drawings

    Pay $1 per play (add-ons cost extra). Tell the retailer how many consecutive drawings you want, or mark Advance Play on the slip.
