About Kentucky 5

Kentucky 5 is a daily draw game offered exclusively in Kentucky. The game first came to the Bluegrass State in November 2021.

Each play costs $1, and players choose five balls from 1 to 39. A player can also opt for Quick Pick, where the computer randomly selects their numbers. To increase the winnings, players can add Xtra for an extra $1 per play, which multiplies winnings except for the jackpot and Match 2 fixed $2 prize.

Kentucky 5's retirement promotion

As a token of appreciation for the support of Kentucky 5, the Kentucky Lottery is offering a second chance promotion.

To participate in the Kentucky 5 retirement promotion, purchase $5 or more of Kentucky 5 tickets online or in-store between now and November 7, 2024. Then, a player enters their tickets for a chance to be one of eight winners who will share 25% of the final Kentucky 5 jackpot.

The final prize pool for the Kentucky 5 retirement promotion will be determined by the Kentucky 5 jackpot on November 2, 2024. If the jackpot isn't won in the final drawing, the guaranteed minimum prize pool is $40,000.

Eight winners will be selected to share in this prize pool. Each winner is guaranteed a minimum prize of $5,000.
