*Kicker Active Example:
Cash5 numbers printed on your ticket: 5-10-14-16-30 K: 12 Y
Winning Cash5 numbers drawn: 5-12-14-16-30
Because your Kicker number (12) was activated (Y=Yes) on your ticket, and it matched one of the 5 winning numbers drawn, it can be used for a 4 number + Kicker match prize.

ADVANCE ACTION: Buy tickets for future Cash5 drawings with the ADVANCE ACTION option. Play up to 28 consecutive drawings in advance. When playing ADVANCE ACTION, fill out only one board (set of numbers) per playslip. (i.e. To play four sets of numbers in advance, fill out four separate playslips.)
REPLAY: To play your numbers again, hand the Lottery Retailer your Cash5 ticket and ask for a REPLAY. You will get a new Cash5 ticket with the same numbers and wager amount. Your new ticket will have the REPLAY “R” printed on it.

No, as long as the numbers drawn are listed on your ticket in a single row, it does not matter what order they are drawn. The Kicker number, however, must be ACTIVE in order to be used as a match.

You do not have to wait to cash in a winning Cash5 ticket when you play Advance Action. To claim your prize, present your ticket to any Lottery Retailer. They will cash your ticket, and give you an Exchange Ticket in place of your original ticket. Your Exchange Ticket will be valid for the remaining number of active drawings on the ticket.

When an activated Kicker number matches one of the five (5) winning numbers drawn, it can be used for a prize match.

There are 5 winning numbers drawn in every Cash5 drawing, however, each ticket is printed with six (6) different numbers (the sixth number in the far-right position is your ticket's Kicker number).
When an additional $.50 is paid at the time of purchase, your Kicker number becomes Active (Y) and can be used to try and match one of the 5 winning numbers drawn.
If the Kicker is Not Active (N), it can't be used to match and win. A Kicker that is active will have a "Y" next to the KICKER number and the message at the bottom of the ticket will read "KICKER ACTIVE."
A Kicker number that has not be activated cannot be used for a prize match. (An unactivated Kicker will have a "N" next to the KICKER number and the message at the bottom of the ticket will read "KICKER NOT ACTIVE.")

Cash5 is a "pari-mutuel" game, which means that all prize winners share equally in the available prize pool monies. The money that's available in the prize pool is based upon daily ticket sales. If ticket sales are not sufficient, the prize pool is divided equally, top prize winners will receive less than $100,000 for their win, and all other prize levels in that game will also experience reduced payouts for that drawing.
