Maryland Lottery Games

Founded in January 1973, the first Maryland Lottery draw took place in May the same year. It offers a wide range of multi-jurisdictional and locally run games, including opportunities to win significant sums of money every day.

Proceeds from the Maryland Lottery go to the state’s General Fund to support multiple public services and initiatives, including health and education.

Powerball

Powerball is a world-famous lottery renowned for its long odds and often lucrative jackpots.

Powerball tickets cost $2.00, with players choosing five numbers between 1 and 69 plus a Powerball number between 1 and 26. Players can choose their numbers manually or go for a Quick Pick. 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

Mega Millions is another world-renowned lottery that’s 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. Mega Millions has an additional Megaplier option for $1.00 for the chance to multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times.

Cash4Life

Cash4Life is a popular lottery game played across nine states, giving players the chance to win $1,000 a day (paid out as $365,000 annually) for the rest of their lives, or the option to take a $7 million-dollar lump sum.

Tickets cost $2.00, with players choosing five main numbers from 1 to 60 and a Cash Ball number between 1 and 4. Quick Pick is also available for those who prefer to play with random selections.

Keno

Keno has multiple entry and stake-based options, as well as the opportunity to enhance the base prize by adding a 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 random selections. Participants must then choose a stake of $1.00, $2.00, $3.00, $4.00, $5.00, $10 or $20.

Players can also add Bonus or Super Bonus features to double or triple the stake and increase prizes by the same amount.

The maximum available prize is $3 million, irrespective of initial stakes and bonus multipliers.

Multi-Match

Multi-Match is a unique lottery with multiple ways to win. Entry costs $2.00 for three sets of six numbers.

Participants can choose the first six numbers from a range of 1 to 43, with the other two lines being Quick Pick only. The jackpot is won by matching all six numbers from one line, with secondary prizes being available for matching various numbers on one line only or across all three lines.

5 Card Cash

5 Card Cash is a two-part draw game based on poker. Entries cost $2.00 and are Quick Pick random selections only.

The first part of 5 Card Cash is an instant-win game. If a ticket has a winning poker hand, up to $5,000 can be won on the spot!

Purchased 5 Card Cash tickets remain valid for the draw game, for a chance to win the jackpot by matching all five cards.

Racetrax

Racetrax is an interactive lottery based on horse racing, with tickets starting at just $0.10.

After selecting a bet, players can choose the winning or second-placed horses, or the first two, three or four horses in correct order. The maximum jackpot can only be won by choosing the first four horses in the correct order, but various secondary prizes are available for other types of combinations.

Bonus Match 5

Bonus Match 5 is a straightforward lottery that costs $1.00 to enter.

Participants choose five numbers from 1 to 39, or can go for a Quick Pick to enter with random selections.

Pick 4

Pick 4 has multiple entry options, with stakes of $0.25, $0.50 or $1.00 being available.

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.

Participants can also choose a Combo entry, for a ticket with every possible combination of the four chosen numbers.

Pick 3

Pick 3 is a game with multiple entry options, with stakes of $0.25, $0.50 or $1.00 being available.

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. 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 Combo entry can be selected, for a ticket with every possible combination of the three player-chosen numbers.

Participants can also wager against matching the first or final pairs of numbers drawn.
