Pick 2 Payouts in Pennsylvania

The Pennsylvania Lottery's Pick 2 game offers the following prize amounts for a single play:

Play Type Match Description Prize
Straight Match 2 digits in exact order $50
Box Match 2 digits in any order $25
Front Digit Match your digit to the first number drawn $5
Back Digit Match your digit to the last number drawn $5

Here’s a breakdown of how these play types work:

  • Straight Play: This type requires you to match both of your chosen two-digit numbers in the exact order they are drawn. For example, if you pick "12" and the winning numbers are "12", you win the Straight prize.
  • Box Play: With a Box play, you win if your two chosen digits are drawn, regardless of their order. For instance, if you pick "12" and the winning numbers are "12" or "21", you win the Box prize.
  • Front Digit Play: This option focuses on matching only the first digit of your chosen number with the first digit drawn in the winning combination.
  • Back Digit Play: Similar to the Front Digit play, this allows you to win a prize by matching only the second digit of your chosen number with the second digit drawn in the winning combination.
