This New Jumbo-Size Lottery Has Lotto And Instant Prizes Just For Georgia USA Players

It's not often that a lottery organisation starts up a new game. Like the short-lived Monopoly Millionaires' Club in 2014, the failures are always there.

But the Georgia Lottery is taking the plunge with this new game that will be available only in Georgia.

And unusually it has two parts to it.

Jumbo Bucks Lotto with Ca$h Match combines a classic lotto draw game with an instant-win component.

The game concept is the first of its kind in Georgia.

Players must pick six numbers from one to 47 and win the jackpot prize by matching the six numbers drawn.

The game offers three additional lotto prizes from $5 to $500.

Additionally, players can select Ca$h Match for a chance to win up to $500 instantly.

Jumbo Bucks Lotto with Ca$h Match offers jackpots starting at $1 million. The jackpot will continue to grow until there is a jackpot winner.

Tickets went on sale at Georgia Lottery retailers statewide Sunday 23 Feb 2015.

Drawings will be held at 11 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays. 

Tickets are $1 per play. The Ca$h Match option costs an additional $1 per play.

The game will be available in LottoPredict and PRO later in 2015.

Georgia Lottery also have scratch-off card games with similar names, but that don't have the lotto component.

They're called Jumbo Bucks Classic, Giant Jumbo Bucks, Junior Jumbo Bucks and Millionaire Jumbo Bucks.
