Colorado Lottery Overview |
The Colorado Lottery is the official state lottery of Colorado in
the USA. It is not as big as many of the other state lotteries, but the
jackpot is still a respectable minimum of $1 million, with a carry over
from draw to draw. Because it`s a smaller lottery, te odds of winning
are roughly 1 in 35, which is better than plenty of others, and a good
reason to play this one.
There are 6 numbers drawn at each draw, and this is the same number
you get to predict on each ticket you buy. You need to match all six to
win the jackpot, and there is a simple prize scale of 4 divisions,
requiring that you match 3, 4, 5 or 6 numbers. It`s as straightforward
as that - no bonus numbers.
Colorado Lottery awards prizes amounting to at least half of
the total sales for any given draw. As with most US lotteries, the
jackpot is paid out in annuitized amounts, with the option of taking a
lump sum immediate payment amounting to 40% of the jackpot won. Although
only over-18s may play the lottery, tickets may be purchased as gifts
for minors. |
