Playing Cowboy Draw
Q: Which has better odds — picking my own numbers or requesting a Quick Pick?
A: Whether you pick your own numbers or have the terminal randomly select numbers for you, the odds of winning are the same.
Purchasing Tickets
Q: How much do Cowboy Draw tickets cost?
A: Cowboy Draw tickets cost $5 for 2 sets of numbers.
Q: Can I purchase Cowboy Draw tickets in advance?
A: To play multiple upcoming draws, request from 2 to 20 Multi Draws either on the playslip or through the retailer. Multi Draws will include the next upcoming draw and be consecutive from that draw. Draws cannot be skipped.
Q: How late can I purchase Cowboy Draw tickets on a draw night?
A: Cowboy Draw sales are suspended 15 minutes prior to the draw.
Q: Can a Cowboy Draw ticket be voided or canceled?
A: Yes. A ticket may be voided or canceled by returning the ticket to the retailer that sold the ticket and only on the same day of purchase. If the ticket was purchased on a draw day (i.e., Monday or Thursday), the ticket must be presented to the retailer prior to the draw break. A cancelled ticket also cancels any future draws included in the ticket purchase.
Prizes and Claims
Q: Do Cowboy Draw tickets expire?
A: Prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the draw date on which the prize was won.
Q: Do I have to match the numbers in the exact order drawn?
A: No. The order of the white ball numbers drawn does not matter.
Q: I lost my ticket. Can I claim a prize with a playslip or store receipt?
A: Cowboy Draw prizes can only be claimed with a ticket printed from the lottery terminal. Playslips or store receipts will not constitute proof of purchase. Lottery tickets are bearer instruments, meaning the person who presents the ticket for claim will be presumed to be the owner. Always sign the back of any lottery ticket immediately. If you lose a ticket before you sign it, you no longer have valid ownership of the ticket.
Cowboy Draw Jackpot
Q: What happens if more than one person wins the jackpot?
A: If there is more than one jackpot-winning ticket, the prize will be split equally between the jackpot-winning tickets.
