How does the FireBall option work in Virginia Pick 5?

The Fireball replaces any of the winning Pick 5 numbers to generate additional winning combinations. The Fireball is drawn immediately following each Pick 5 draw.

It is possible to win multiple Fireball prizes during each prize draw.

Example

Select 2-2-2-2-3, for example, as your Pick 5 numbers.

Next, choose a $1 bet and the Fireball.

In this example the winning numbers are 2-2-2-2-2, but the Fireball is 3.

Because the Fireball can replace any of the 2-2-2-2-2 numbers, possible combinations could be:

• 3-2-2-2-2
• 2-3-2-2-2
• 2-2-3-2-2
• 2-2-2-3-2
• 2-2-2-2-3
