What is Hit 5?

Hit 5 is a jackpot game that costs $1 per play.

“Players pick five numbers between 1 and 42. Alternatively, players may use Quick Pick by letting the computer select their numbers,” the lottery official said.

If a player matches all five numbers, they take home the cashpot, which starts out at $100,000 and grows until it’s claimed, according to Washington’s Lottery’s website.

The odds of winning the Hit 5 cashpot are 1 in 851,000, per the website.

Lesser prizes range from a free ticket to $150.

The next Hit 5 drawing is 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 14.
