Rhode Island Lottery Draw Games
The Rhode Island Lottery offers six draw games, from daily digit games to multi-state mega-jackpots. Established in 1974, Rhode Island was one of the earliest states to adopt a lottery. Revenue goes to the General Fund, supporting education, public safety, and other state services. Rhode Island levies a 5.99% state tax on lottery winnings. The state also operates an IGT iLottery platform, allowing players to purchase tickets online — one of only a handful of states with legal online lottery play.
The Numbers (4 digits, 0-9)
The Numbers is Rhode Island's daily digit game. Choose four digits from 0 to 9, drawn seven days a week with Midday and Evening draws. Play types include Straight, Box, Straight/Box, Front Pair, and Back Pair. The top Straight prize is $5,000, and the twice-daily schedule gives players two chances every day to win. The Numbers is one of the most popular games in the state due to its simplicity and favorable odds on box plays.
Wild Money (5/38 + Extra Ball)
Wild Money is Rhode Island's flagship state-only jackpot game. Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 38 plus an Extra Ball, drawn daily in the evening. The rolling jackpot starts at $20,000 and grows until won. With a smaller pool than national games, Wild Money offers significantly better odds of winning the top prize. Five prize tiers give players multiple ways to win, and the daily draws mean the jackpot can build quickly.
Lucky for Life (5/48 + Lucky Ball 1/18)
Lucky for Life is a multi-state game offering recurring payouts. Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 48 plus a Lucky Ball from 1 to 18, drawn daily. The top prize is $1,000 per day for life, with a second-tier prize of $25,000 per year for life. Nine prize tiers from $4 up to the life-changing top prize make this a compelling option for players who prefer steady income over a lump sum.
Million 4 Life (5/58 + Mega Ball 1/5)
Million 4 Life offers the largest recurring payouts. Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 58 plus a Mega Ball from 1 to 5, drawn daily. The top prize is $1 million per year for life. Seven prize tiers from $5 up to the top prize give players multiple ways to win.
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 + 1/25)
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.
