Puerto Rico Lottery Games

Founded in 1934, the Puerto Rico Lottery participates in the US Powerball game. It also provides various opportunities to win prizes in locally run games nearly every day of the week.

Puerto Rico Lottery proceeds go to the Puerto Rico Department of Treasury, which dispenses these funds into various programs such as infrastructure works, social programs, rental subsidy and home-improvement programs for senior citizens, the University of Puerto Rico and athletic performance support programs.

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.

Players can add Double Play to their ticket for an additional $1.00 using the same set of numbers, for an extra draw with a $10 million jackpot.

Kino

Kino has multiple entry-based and stake-based options.

Players decide on how many numbers to match from 1 to 10, before choosing their 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.

The stake acts as a multiplier for all non-jackpot prizes, with the jackpot being capped at $100,000.

Loto Cash

Loto Cash is a straightforward lottery with several chances to win significant prizes. Entry costs $1.00.

Players need to choose five numbers from 1 to 35, followed by another number between 1 and 10. Quick Picks are also available for random selections.

Participants can enter the Revancha draw for an additional $1.00 using the same set of numbers. The Revancha prize structure mirrors the main Loto Cash draw, albeit for smaller prizes.

Finally, players can add a Multiplicador (multiplier) to their ticket for another $1.00, for the chance to boost all non-jackpot prizes by up to five times.

Pega 4

Pega 4 is a Pick 4 game with multiple entry options. Initial entry costs $1.00.

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 numbers in the order drawn, in any order, or to pay a $2.00 stake to cover both bets.

Alternatively, participants can choose a Combo bet to play with every possible combination of their four numbers. Players must stake $1.00 per combination, with a Combo ticket consisting of four different numbers costing $24.

Finally, players can add an Approximation bet to their ticket for an additional $0.50. Participants win if they are only a single digit away from the number drawn when it is expressed as a four-digit figure. For example, players who choose 1234, win if 1233 or 1235 are drawn.

Pega 3

Pega 3 is a Pick 3 game with multiple entry options. Initial entry costs $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. Participants then choose whether to bet on matching numbers in the order drawn, in any order, or to pay a $2.00 stake to cover both bets.

Alternatively, participants can choose a Combo bet to play with every possible combination of their three numbers. Players must stake $1.00 per combination, with a Combo ticket consisting of three different numbers costing $6.00.

Finally, players can add an Approximation bet to their ticket for an additional $0.50. Participants win if they are only a single digit away from the number drawn when it is expressed as a three-digit figure. For example, players who choose 123, win if 122 or 124 are drawn.

Pega 2

Pega 2 is a Pick 2 game with multiple entry options. Initial entry costs $1.00.

Players must choose two numbers from 0 to 9, and because each number is chosen independently, the same number can be chosen twice if desired. Participants then choose whether to bet on matching numbers in the order drawn, in any order, or to pay a $2.00 stake to cover both bets.

Alternatively, participants can choose a Combo bet to play with every possible combination of their two numbers. Players need to stake $1.00 per combination, with a Combo ticket consisting of two different numbers costing $2.00. Even though a Combo bet is essentially the same as matching two numbers in any order, it pays out twice the prize value.
