Lotto
Lotto is Grenada's primary national lottery game.
Draws are held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings and are broadcast live on national television.
Tickets cost XCD 2.00.
To play, choose five numbers between 1 and 34 or go for a Quick Pick for numbers chosen at random.
Each ticket is randomly printed with a free ticket letterthat is drawn every week in addition to the main draw for a chance to win afree ticket.
Unfortunately, Lotto doesn't have any secondary games or features to increase the chances of winning a prize.
Jackpot
With its starting jackpot of XCD 40,000, this is an uncapped rollover game with relatively short odds, but rollovers for far largerjackpots are still quite common.
The biggest winning Lotto jackpot to date is XCD 415,000, with jackpots exceeding XCD 300,000 on a regular basis.
Odds and Prizes
The odds of winning the Lotto jackpot are 1 in 278,256, which appear quite generous, but for a relatively modest prize in comparison.
Players can win cash prizes at a further two tiers, plus a free ticket for the next draw by matching the free ticket letter.
