Picking Your Teams
Each play costs $5. Mark 8 of the 32 NFL team logos on the play slip, or ask for a Quick Pick and the terminal chooses for you. You can buy up to 10 consecutive drawings in advance in most states (Maine allows 13).
Drawings are held every Sunday at 10:00 PM Eastern. Eight team logos are drawn at random.
Winning
Match 4 or more of your 8 teams to the 8 drawn and you win. Match all 8 for the rolling jackpot, which starts at $1,000,000 and rolls when it is not hit. It stands at $2 Million after 7 straight draws without a winner. Match 7 for up to $20,000.
Every prize is cash. There is no annuity to choose between: the jackpot is paid as a single lump sum. Lower tiers are pari-mutuel: the chart amounts are ceilings, and when many tickets hit a tier the prize pool is split. The first draw paid $500 for 7 of 8, not $20,000.

Per dollar you are buying a much smaller, much more reachable jackpot: about 28 times better odds of hitting the top prize than Powerball, for a prize that starts at 1/20th the size and has no annuity discount hidden in it. The 7-of-8 tier (1 in 54,783) is listed at $20,000 but is pari-mutuel: with 19 winners it paid $500 on the first draw. Powerball's second prize is a fixed $1 million at 1 in 11.7 million.
