16. How are LUCKY LINES winners determined?
The outcome of LUCKY LINES tickets (whether they will result in a cash prize win) is not pre-determined; however, tickets will be immediately determined a winner or non-winner in a true random selection once numbers are chosen by the player. When you select your own numbers, the order of the 49 "Game Board" numbers on the LUCKY LINES ticket will be randomly selected; and, on Quick Pick tickets, the seven "Your Numbers" will be randomly selected. The positioning of "Your Numbers" on the "Game Board" determines whether a ticket is a winner. TOP
17. Is it possible for winning lines of numbers to intersect on a LUCKY LINES ticket?
Yes, because the numbers are randomly selected, it is possible for lines to intersect. However, a number that joins two lines can only be used in one winning line per ticket. In these instances, the highest prize will be awarded. TOP
18. Is it possible that some of my seven numbers will not be on the game board?
No. Every LUCKY LINES ticket contains the numbers 1 through 49 on the "Game Board", so your seven numbers will always appear somewhere in the game board of your ticket. The key to winning is in the positioning of "Your Numbers" on the "Game Board". If the numbers display in a winning pattern, you win a cash prize! TOP
19. Is it easier to win when the game board is displayed in order?
No. Though it is easier to find "Your Numbers" on the "Game Board", the odds of winning are the same for Quick Pick tickets (displaying a numerical order grid) as it is for tickets with numbers you selected (displaying a scrambled order grid). TOP
20. How should I mark my numbers on the "Game Board" to determine if my ticket is a winner?
You should circle the numbers on the "Game Board" to easily determine if you are a winner. If you mark on the numbers, it may be more difficult to see if you are a winner. TOP
21. Why are partial Quick Picks not allowed like on other games?
Because the numbers on the "Game Board" are displayed differently on tickets with player-selected numbers versus Quick Pick tickets, partial Quick Picks are not allowed. You must either select all of the seven numbers or choose Quick Pick. TOP
22. If I play all five panels on the playslip, how many tickets will print?
One LUCKY LINES ticket will print for each panel played. Only one set of "Your Numbers" will appear on each ticket, along with the corresponding "Game Board". TOP
23. Can I select my own numbers in some panels and Quick Picks or different play amounts in other panels?
Yes. Each panel represents a single ticket, so you can select different numbers or play amounts on each one. TOP
24. What if I forgot to select a play amount on my LUCKY LINES playslip?
If you do not select a play amount, the cost of the LUCKY LINES ticket will default to $1. TOP
