How to play

Players can use a Quick Pick option, where the lottery system randomly chooses six numbers. Alternatively, you may choose six numbers from 1 to 52 on any board. There is no limit to the number of boards a person can play, and a multi-draw option allows the same numbers to be played over multiple draws.
