Select 5 numbers from 1 through 41 on the upper section and one number from 1 through 6 on the lower section, which is the ottom row with 6 numbers. Alternatively, you can mark the Easy Pick (EP) to let the Lottery terminal randomly select your numbers for you. If you want to play more numbers, then fill out panels 2, 3, etc. Each one costs $2.

If you make an error, DO NOT ERASE, instead mark the Void box for that play.

A typical winning number is reported as,
02-13-15-22-27 MB 01, or as 02-13-15-22-27**01
