What is MO Lotto?
MO Lotto is a twice weekly draw game where you try to pick six numbers between 1 and 44 that match the winning numbers drawn to win a cash prize. You can also select Quick Pick and the random number generator will choose the numbers for you.
Tickets cost $1 for two plays. Jackpots start at $1,000,000 and if nobody wins the jackpot, it rolls over and is added to the next drawing’s jackpot. Missouri Lotto drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday.
Every MO Lotto ticket is eligible for a random selection to designate their ticket a Lotto Doubler. Those selected will be identified with the message, “THIS IS A DOUBLER TICKET!”. There is no additional cost for having the Doubler feature and you’ll automatically have the chance to double your non-jackpot winning prizes!
Add EZ Match is an optional play to win prizes instantly. EZ Match costs an additional $1 per play and the lottery terminal will print six EZ Match numbers on your ticket. You can win up to $500 instantly if any of your MO Lotto numbers match the EZ Match numbers.
