Arizona Lottery Draw Games
The Arizona Lottery offers six draw games ranging from a daily digit game to multi-state jackpots. All Arizona Lottery drawings take place in the evening around 8:00 PM MST. One important note for out-of-state players: Arizona does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so draw times stay consistent year-round while neighboring states shift.
Pick 3 (3 digits, 0-9)
Pick 3 lets you choose three digits from 0 to 9. Drawings are held every evening. Play types include Straight, Box, Straight/Box, Front Pair, and Back Pair. A $1 straight bet pays $500. Pick 3 is the simplest Arizona draw game and appeals to players who want daily action with straightforward odds.
Fantasy 5 (5/41)
Fantasy 5 is Arizona's mid-range lotto game. Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 41 with drawings every evening. The jackpot starts at $50,000 and rolls over when not won. Overall jackpot odds are approximately 1 in 749,398, making it one of the more winnable lotto-style games in the state. Fantasy 5 fills the gap between the daily digit game and the larger jackpot offerings.
Triple Twist (3 rows of 6/42)
Triple Twist is Arizona's unique draw game with no equivalent in other states. Each play consists of three separate rows, and each row draws 6 numbers from 1 to 42. You pick one set of 6 numbers, and those numbers are matched against all three rows. Matching numbers in any single row wins prizes, and the more numbers you match across rows, the bigger the payout. The three-row mechanic effectively gives you three chances to win per play, creating a distinctive game structure that sets it apart from standard lotto formats.
The Pick (6/44)
The Pick is Arizona's flagship in-state jackpot game. Pick 6 numbers from 1 to 44 with drawings every Wednesday and Saturday evening. Jackpots start at $1 million and grow until won. The odds of hitting the jackpot are approximately 1 in 7,059,052, offering better odds than multi-state games while still delivering seven-figure prizes. The Pick is the go-to game for Arizona players who want meaningful jackpots with reasonable odds.
Powerball (5/69 + 1/26)
Powerball draws Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evenings. Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 69 plus a Powerball from 1 to 26. The Power Play multiplier can boost non-jackpot prizes up to 10x. Jackpot odds are 1 in 292,201,338. Arizona withholds 4.8% state tax on lottery prizes in addition to federal withholding.
Mega Millions (5/70 + 1/25)
Mega Millions draws Tuesday and Friday evenings. Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 70 plus a Mega Ball from 1 to 25. The Megaplier multiplies non-jackpot prizes up to 5x. Jackpot odds are 1 in 302,575,350.
