Winning tickets will be drawn in prize order: the first four tickets drawn each win $5,000, the next fifteen each win $1,000, and the next five each win $500.
For the 6-for-$100 ticket package, the purchaser receives six separate ticket numbers and six separate entries in the drawing. Winners do not need to be present. Winners will be contacted using the information provided at the time of purchase.
