Vermont Lottery Draw Games
The Vermont Lottery offers eight draw games, several of which are operated by the Tri-State Lottery Commission — a unique partnership with Maine and New Hampshire formed in 1985. Established in 1978, the Vermont Lottery directs revenue to the Education Fund. Vermont levies a 6% state tax on lottery winnings.
Pick 3 (3 digits, 0-9)
Pick 3 is a Tri-State Lottery digit game shared with Maine and New Hampshire. Choose three 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 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 and Evening draws. 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. 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 (5/41 + Megaball 1/6)
