STRAIGHT/BOX
  • Your $1 play is split between both Playstyles-50 cents to Straight and 50 cents to Box.
  • Since $1 is split between the two Playstyles, the potential payouts are half the prize amounts, while the odds of winning each way remain unchanged. (see above)
  • By matching the winning numbers in the exact order, you win approximately half of the Straight prize plus approximately half of the Box prize. If you match the winning numbers in any other order, you win approximately half of the Box prize only.
