Delaware Lottery Games

Founded in June 1974, the Delaware Lottery offers a wide range of multi-jurisdictional and locally run games, including opportunities to win significant sums of money every day.

Proceeds from the Delaware Lottery go to the State General Fund, which uses the cash to fund services such as public and higher education, health and social services, public safety and family services.

Players can choose their numbers manually or go for a Quick Pick if they like. A Power Play option is also available, costing $1.00 for the chance to multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times.

Mega Millions is another world-renowned lottery that is even harder to win than Powerball, but with a very similar format.

As with Powerball, tickets cost $2.00.

Players must choose five numbers between 1 and 70 and a Mega Ball number between 1 and 25, with a Quick Pick option also being available for those wishing to play with random selections.

Entry costs $1.00, with players choosing five numbers from 1 to 52 and a Star Ball from 1 to 10, with quick picks also available for players who prefer to enter with random selections.

For an additional $1.00, players can add the All-Star Bonus Multiplier, which multiplies non-jackpot prizes by up to five times.

Keno

Keno has multiple entry and stake-based options, as well as the opportunity to enhance the base prize by adding the Keno Bonus prize multiplier.

Players must decide how many numbers to match from 1 to 10, before choosing the relevant number of selections between 1 and 80. Quick Picks are available for players who wish to enter with random selections. Participants must then choose a stake of either $1.00, $2.00, $3.00, $4.00, $5.00, $10 or $20.

Players can also add the Keno Bonus prize multiplier to double their stake. This prize multiplier is chosen before each draw, with possible multiplication outcomes of 1 (no increase), 3, 4, 5 and 10.

The maximum available prize is $1 million, irrespective of initial stakes and bonus multipliers.

Multi-Win Lotto

Multi-Win Lotto is a straightforward lottery game, with the $2.00 entry cost granting three entries into the draw.

Players must choose six numbers from 1 to 35 or can go for a Quick Pick for randomly chosen selections. The second and third entries are always Quick Picks.

Multi-Win Lotto offers prizes for matching numbers on a single line or across all three lines.

Play 4

Play 4 is a Pick 4 game with multiple entry options, with the stake costing $0.50 or $1.00. Draws take place daily, just like Play 3.

Players must choose four numbers from 0 to 9, and because each number is chosen independently, the same number can be chosen repeatedly if desired. Participants then choose whether to bet on matching their numbers in the order drawn, in any order, or to split a $1.00 stake equally between both options.

A Combination entry is also available, for a ticket with every possible combination of the four player-chosen numbers.

Play 3

Play 3 is a Pick 3 game with multiple entry options, with the stake costing $0.50 or $1.00.

Players must choose three numbers from 0 to 9, and because each number is chosen independently, the same number can be chosen repeatedly if desired.

Players can also bet on matching the first or second pairs of numbers (in the correct order).
