When one door closes, another door opens. That is what players in the Maine Lottery have to consider with the recent changes the state has made.

World Poker Tour game ends

While the Maine Lottery has been promoting the new game, they haven't really discussed the end of the World Poker Tour game. This was a daily draw game, with the drawings being held every night at 9:05 p.m. ET and offered players two chances to win for only $2. Each ticket purchased could have won twice per day: instantly and in the nightly drawing!

Players could win up to $100,000 in the nightly drawing and up to $5,000 instantly.

While players enjoyed the game, the final drawing for the World Poker Tour took place on Saturday, June 1.

Cash POP has now started

With the World Poker Tour game ending on June 1, that meant it was the perfect time to introduce the newest draw game from the Maine Lottery: Cash POP! The first drawing took place on Sunday, June 2, so there was no lull in game play for state lottery players.

For Cash POP, players pick a number from 1 to 15 and if their number matches the winning number drawn, they win at least 5X their wager amount! Players can play Cash POP five times a day, seven days a week.

The Cash POP drawings take place at 8:30 a.m. ET (Early Bird), 11:30 a.m. ET (Brunch), 2:30 p.m. ET (Matinee), 6:30 p.m. ET (Supper Time), and 11:30 p.m. ET (Night Owl).

Cash POP - how does it work?

For those unfamiliar with this new Cash POP game, you will choose which number you want to play per drawing from 1 to 15. You can pick just one number, or you can play up to all 15 numbers. The cash prize you win, if your number is drawn, will be on your ticket under your number or numbers. If you do want to play all 15 numbers, just select PLAY ALL on your betting slip for a guaranteed prize.

You will then select the dollar amount you want to play for each draw: $1, $2, $5, or $10 per number. The dollar amount you wager determines the cash prize you could win.

You will then select how many consecutive drawings you want to play: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10. If you select multiple drawings, you will receive a separate ticket for each drawing.

The cost of your ticket is determined by how many numbers you play, the amount you wagered per number, and the number of consecutive drawings played. For example, if you selected two numbers at a $2 wager for two consecutive draws, the total ticket cost would be $8.

To win, you need to match your Cash POP number to the winning number drawn for that drawing. If your Cash POP number does match, then you win the prize shown on your ticket for that number. The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 15.

Enjoy playing the Maine Lottery, and please remember to play responsibly.
