Maine Lottery Draw Games

The Maine State Lottery offers eight draw games, four of which are operated by the Tri-State Lottery Commission — a unique partnership with New Hampshire and Vermont. Established in 1974, the Maine Lottery directs revenue to the General Fund and Outdoor Heritage Fund. Maine levies a 7.15% state tax on lottery winnings.

Pick 3 (3 digits, 0-9)

Pick 3 is a Tri-State Lottery digit game shared with New Hampshire and Vermont. Choose three digits from 0 to 9, drawn seven days a week with Midday draws at approximately 1:10 PM ET and Evening draws at 6:50 PM ET. Play types include Straight, Box, Straight/Box, Front Pair, and Back Pair. The twice-daily schedule gives players two chances every day to win.

Pick 4 (4 digits, 0-9)

Pick 4 extends the Tri-State digit game format to four numbers. Choose four digits from 0 to 9, drawn seven days a week with Midday draws at approximately 1:10 PM ET and Evening draws at 6:50 PM ET. Play types mirror Pick 3 with additional box combinations due to the fourth digit.

Gimme 5 (5/39)

Gimme 5 is a Tri-State Lottery game offering a fixed $100,000 top prize. Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 39, drawn Monday through Friday at approximately 6:59 PM ET. With no rolling jackpot, the $100,000 top prize is always available. Odds of winning the top prize are approximately 1 in 575,757 — far more favorable than multi-state games. Four prize tiers range from $1 (match 2) to $100,000 (match 5).

Megabucks Plus (5/41 + Megaball 1/6)

Megabucks Plus is the flagship Tri-State Lottery jackpot game shared with New Hampshire and Vermont. Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 41 plus a Megaball from 1 to 6, drawn Wednesday and Saturday evenings at approximately 7:59 PM ET. The rolling jackpot starts at $1 million and grows until won. With jackpot odds of approximately 1 in 4,496,388, Megabucks Plus offers significantly better odds than national games. The Megaball adds an extra dimension to prize tiers, with eight ways to win.

Lotto America (5/52 + Star Ball 1/10)

Lotto America is a multi-state game. Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 52 plus a Star Ball from 1 to 10, drawn Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evenings at approximately 10:15 PM ET. The All Star Bonus multiplier can boost non-jackpot prizes up to 5x for an extra $1. Nine prize tiers from $2 up to the rolling jackpot.

Millionaire For Life (5/58 + Millionaire Ball 1/5)

Millionaire For Life offers life-changing recurring payouts. Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 58 plus a Millionaire Ball from 1 to 5, drawn daily at approximately 11:15 PM ET. The top prize is $18 million paid for life, with a second-tier prize of $100,000 per year for life. Nine prize tiers make this a compelling game for players seeking sustained income.

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 for an extra $1. Jackpot odds are 1 in 292,201,338.

Mega Millions (5/70 + 1/24)

Mega Millions draws Tuesday and Friday evenings. Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 70 plus a Mega Ball from 1 to 24. Every Mega Millions ticket now includes a built-in random multiplier of 2x to 10x that boosts non-jackpot prizes at no extra cost. Jackpot odds are 1 in 290,472,336.
