What is The Pick?
The Pick is Arizona’s own draw game where the goal is to match your numbers on your ticket with the numbers selected in the drawing to win a prize. There are four ways to win!
Ticket Price: $1
Drawings: Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays
What is EXTRA!?
EXTRA! is a separate game that can be added onto your The Pick ticket and can be played instantly. Playing a $1 EXTRA! gives you a chance to win up to $250, and playing a $2 EXTRA! gives you a chance to win up to $500.
By playing, you will receive six EXTRA! numbers* on your ticket and if any of them match your numbers for The Pick, you win the prize amount shown next to the matched EXTRA! number. If you match more than one number, you win the prize amount for each one of those matches as well.
*EXTRA! numbers are not associated with draw numbers.
Additional Cost: $1 or $2 per game
Applies To: All prizes
Overall Odds: 1 in 3.8
