Missouri Lottery Draw Games
The Missouri Lottery offers six draw games covering daily digit games, an in-state cash game, a state jackpot game, and two multi-state mega-jackpots. All Missouri Lottery revenue goes to public education, having contributed billions to schools since the lottery's founding in 1986. Here is a breakdown of every draw game available to Missouri players.
Pick 3 (3 digits, 0-9)
Pick 3 is Missouri's three-digit daily game. Choose three digits from 0 to 9 with drawings held twice daily at midday and evening. Play types include Straight, Box (3-Way and 6-Way), Straight/Box, Front Pair, and Back Pair. A $1 straight bet pays $600. The Wild Ball add-on, available for an extra $1 per play, adds an extra ball to each drawing that can substitute for any of your three digits, creating additional ways to win. Wild Ball effectively gives you multiple straight plays for the price of one.
Pick 4 (4 digits, 0-9)
Pick 4 extends the digit game format to four numbers. Choose four digits from 0 to 9 with midday and evening drawings. Play types mirror Pick 3 with Straight, Box (4-Way, 6-Way, 12-Way, 24-Way), and Straight/Box options. A $1 straight bet pays $5,000. Like Pick 3, the Wild Ball add-on is available for an extra $1, adding a substitute ball that can match any of your four digits to create extra winning combinations.
Show Me Cash (5/39)
Show Me Cash is Missouri's daily evening cash game. Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 39 with drawings every evening. The top prize is a rolling jackpot that starts at $50,000 and grows until won. Odds of hitting all five numbers are approximately 1 in 575,757, making it one of the more favorable jackpot games available. Show Me Cash offers a straightforward format with no bonus balls or multipliers.
MO Millions (6/42 + Bulls-Eye)
MO Millions is Missouri's signature in-state jackpot game, replacing the former Lotto game in 2025. Pick 6 numbers from 1 to 42 with drawings every Wednesday and Saturday evening. Jackpots start at $1 million and roll over when not won. The Bulls-Eye feature is unique: after the six winning numbers are drawn, one of those six is randomly highlighted as the Bulls-Eye number. Matching the Bulls-Eye number along with other matches boosts your prize — it is not an extra ball drawn from a separate pool, but rather a designation applied to one of the six already drawn numbers.
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. Missouri has been part of the Powerball consortium since 1995.
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 for an extra $1. Jackpot odds are 1 in 302,575,350.
