The ALL IN feature offers a progressive jackpot that starts at $10,000 and grows with every ALL IN purchase until it’s won. With ALL IN, players who have a Royal Flush in their hand win the entire progressive jackpot.

The progressive jackpot won by the ticket is worth $99,216.

The "Win Tonight" evening draw is a traditional match game. The drawing will produce five
winning cards and players simply need to match the cards printed on their ticket with the cards
drawn for prizes up to $100,000. Tickets can win in either "Win Now" or "Win Tonight," or both.

The 5 Card Cash drawings are held seven days a week.
