Here’s how you play:
- Head over to any of our 3,000 lottery retailers
- Grab a play slip and choose five numbers from 1 to 52 and one Lotto America Star Ball number from 1 to 10
- Bring your slip to a clerk and get your ticket for $1

It’s as easy as that, but did you know there are more ways to play?
- Can’t decide on what numbers to choose? No worries! You can opt to get a “quick pick” ticket with randomly selected numbers.

- You can purchase up to 14 consecutive draws at once.
Does Playing Lotto America Benefit Minnesota?
Absolutely. Approximately 94 cents of every lottery dollar played is returned to Minnesotans through prizes, retailer commissions and contributions to the state.
