Nebraska Lottery

2by2, also played in Kansas and North Dakota, is drawn nightly. Two red numbers and two white numbers (each 1 through 26) are drawn. Games are $1; there are seven ways to win. Matching all four numbers wins $22,000; it is doubled if won on a Tuesday, and the ticket was bought for seven consecutive draws.

In 1996, six lotteries began The Big Game; it became Mega Millions in 2002.[2][3] In January 2010, Mega Millions and Powerball became available to lotteries which had either game. Mega Millions became available in Nebraska on March 20, 2010.[4][5]

Mega Millions is drawn Tuesdays and Fridays; its jackpots begin at $40 million and continues to grow by at least $5 million each drawing until it is won.

Nebraska joined Powerball in 1994. Powerball jackpots begin at $40 million and continues to grow by at least $10 million each drawing until it is won; it is drawn Wednesdays and Saturdays.

The then-largest lottery prize in American history for a single set of numbers was on a Nebraska ticket for Powerball in a 2006 drawing. The entire $365 million was shared by eight people, who chose the cash option.[6]

The Connecticut Lottery, in 2009, began an in-house game called Lucky-4-Life. After several format changes, the game became quasi-national in 2015. As of 2019, Lucky for Life is available in 25 states and the District of Columbia.

The Nebraska Lottery began offering Lucky for Life on August 20, 2017.

Nebraska Pick 5 also has daily draws. It draws five numbers 1 through 38. Each play is $1. Its jackpot begins at $50,000. On August 13, 2023, 2 more numbers were added to require players to choose 5 numbers from 1 to 40 allowing bigger jackpots that grow faster. [7]
