These 78 Mississippi Cash-4 players won $5,000 each using 6-6-6-6 number entry
/In Mississippi 2022, something pretty unusual happened during a lottery draw.
On February 3rd, 78 lucky people hit the jackpot by choosing the number 6-6-6-6 for their tickets.
This wasn't just any draw; it was part of the Cash 4 game, a new addition to the Mississippi Lottery that started that year.
The winners split a total of $320,000 among themselves.
Here's how it broke down: 50 of those winners had bet $1 on their tickets and ended up winning $5,000 each.
The other 28 winners had gone for a cheaper option, betting just 50 cents, but they still managed to win a solid $2,500 each.
The game, which kicked off on January 10, has quickly become a part of the daily routine for many, with drawings happening every night at 10 p.m. Central time.
Players can decide how much they want to bet, with options ranging from 50 cents to $24. The goal is simple: pick a combination of four numbers, anywhere from 0 to 9. But there's a catch – you have to be at least 21 years old to play.
