With a jackpot that starts at $50,000 and then increases until the draw is won, Show Me Cash gives winners a chance to win big in the daily jackpot game every night. Draws are held every Monday through to Sundays from 8.59 p.m. to 9.15 p.m.
How to Play Show Me Cash?
With an easy to play format, Show Me Cash has been experiencing an influx of players which is very good for the health of the game. In order to play this game, you first of all need to select your numbers. Using the playslip which has five boards from A to E, you can select five numbers per play. Each play costs only $1 and the pool of numbers you are to select from per play ranges from 1 to 39 both numbers inclusive. With the five boards, the playslip gives you an opportunity to enter five plays.
In the event you make a mistake when selecting your numbers on a particular board, there is a VOID box for every board that you can mark and move on to the next board so that you can make a proper selection of your numbers. Marking the void box nullifies the selections you have made on the particular board.
When selecting your numbers, you can either go for the manual selection where you go for your favorite numbers and physically mark them on the playslip or go for the Quick Pick option where an automated computer system picks the numbers for you.
EZ Match
The EZ Match is an additional optional play costing a dollar per play. The numbers are randomly generated and printed right below your Show Me Cash numbers. When any of the five EZ Match numbers generated match any one of your Show Me Cash numbers irrespective of the order, you win an instant prize. The amount of the prize is normally printed on the ticket next to the matched EZ Match numbers.
Multi-Draw
Show Me Cash enables you to play your chosen numbers for more than one drawing. You can enter up to 14 consecutive drawings, thereby standing a higher chance of winning the prize. All you need to do is to mark the Multi-Draw box.
When done with your playslip, you should hand it over to the retailer who will then proceed and process your ticket. You should check your ticket before leaving the retailer's premises to confirm that the date on the ticket is correct and the numbers printed on it are exactly what you have chosen. Sign your ticket at the back and keep it in a safe place as you wait for the drawing.
The Odds of Winning Show Me Cash
As it was pointed, there are two ways you can win when you play Show Me Cash. The first is through the regular selection of numbers and the second is through the EZ Match option. Winning of EZ Match is easy because when you choose to play, numbers are randomly generated for you and printed at the bottom of the ticket.Each number has a prize against it and when one or more of the EZ Match numbers match with any of your Show Me Cash numbers, you instantly get the prize indicated. For instance, if your Show Me Cash numbers are 02 19 22 25 29 and your EZ Match numbers are 01 15 19 23 29, you will get the prizes indicated against 19 and 29 because they match the Show Me Cash numbers.
