Unravel the Super Kansas Cash Lottery

Overview

Super Kansas Cash, a traditional lotto jackpot game, is offered by the Kansas Lottery and is a Kansas-only game. The lotto game was first introduced to Kansas in 1988 albeit under a different name. It has undergone a number of modifications over the years. The new Super Kansas Cash game which came into being in February 2002 is an enhanced version of the Kansas Cash game and now offers more ways to win. 

Super Kansas Cash drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.  In the new version of this game there are two sets of numbers. Five numbers are randomly drawn from the first set of numbers 1 through 32. One number, called the Super Cashball, is randomly drawn from the second set of numbers 1 through 25. To win the jackpot, you must match all six numbers. You can purchase two plays for just $1.

The minimum jackpot is $100,000 and rolls over to the next draw if it is not won. All winners are paid in one lump sum. The overall odds of winning a prize are approximately 1 in 12 and the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 2,517,200 which are more favorable than many other American lotteries.
