How to Play Payday:

  1. On a PayDay Selection Slip, mark four numbers from 1 to 77 on up to five boards. Or ask for a Quick Pick and the lottery terminal will randomly select your numbers. These numbers are eligible for the $1,000 A Week For Life prize.
  2. For each board you play, you will get 14 additional sets of computer-generated numbers: 2 sets for the $50,000 prize category, four sets for the $20,000 prize category and eight sets for the $1,000 prize category.
  3. Four numbers are drawn from a field of 1 to 77. To win, the numbers drawn must match 2, 3 or 4 numbers in any set of numbers on your ticket. The prize win is determined by how many numbers are matched and the prize category of that set of numbers.

    A winning set of numbers entitles a winner to a prize in only one of the above prize categories.

    *For each draw, should the aggregate number of the $1,000 A Week For Life annuity prizes exceed four prizes, the annuity prizes will not be available, and each prize in that prize category will be paid as a single cash payment determined by dividing $2,700,000 by the number of winning sets of numbers in the $1,000 A Week For Life prize category for that draw. A group play winning set of numbers in the $1,000 A Week For Life prize category is considered to be one winner.
