Originating from Virginia Cash 25 lottery takes place four times a week. You can try your chances on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. The game is very cheap and costs only one dollar. To win, a player must correctly match six drawn numbers.

How to play Cash 25?

On a coupon, a player marks six winning numbers from the pool of numbers from 1 to 25. The participants must remember that under no circumstances should they mark pools with red ink. This is not consistent with the rules and such a coupon, even if contains the correct numbers, will be not taken into account.

A typical coupon has 5 panels marked as A, B, C, D and E. A player can take part in each of them and it depends only on his/her willingness and financial possibilities. Only people over 18 years of age can take part in the draw. Each game costs $1.

Players can use the quick selection option, i.e. Easy Pick. This concerns especially those players who do not want to select the numbers manually and prefer the computer system to do it for them. This is an ideal option for beginners who make their first steps in the field of lottery games or simply for those who do not have much time. Then a player marks the option Easy Pick on the coupon and passes it to the seller. It should be emphasized that Cash 25, like any other lottery, is a game of chance and no set of numbers, whether selected manually or picked using Easy Pick, guarantees a prize.

What is Multi Draw?

It is an additional series of draws. To take part in it, a player has to select the appropriate option on the ticket. Of course you have to pay extra for these bonus draws and then they are printed each on a separate ticket. To check the results, a player just needs to visit his/her point of sale or check them in the local press.
