Lotto America has reached its 133rd consecutive draw since April 2024, accruing a jackpot that's now worth $25 million.

The jackpot will grow until someone chooses the correct Lotto America numbers.

This marks the second-largest jackpot in Lotto America's history. The largest, $40 million, was won by Earl Lape of Dubuque, Iowa, in April 2023 at $40 million. He played the numbers  2-38-43-46-51 at Eichman's Bar & Family Restaurant at 11941 U.S. Highway 52 N.

In Lotto America, players choose five numbers from 1 to 52. Tickets cost $1 per play, with a multiplier bonus for an additional $1. Jackpot aside, players can multiply non-jackpot prizes up to five times, winning up to $500.

Lotto America is a multi-state game launched in 1988 that is available in 14 states. They are Kansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Tennessee, Iowa, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Maine, West Virginia, New Mexico, and Delaware. Each state has its own rules regarding taxation on prizes, age requirements, and how prizes are claimed.

The next Lotto America drawing is tonight at 9:15 p.m. CST.
