PA Pick 2 is a daily lottery game offered by the Pennsylvania Lottery where players choose a two-digit number and select a play type to determine how they can win based on the official drawing. It provides several ways to play and win, offering flexibility for participants.
How to Play PA Pick 2
Playing PA Pick 2 involves a few straightforward steps, starting with choosing your numbers and then deciding on your preferred play style.
Choosing Your Numbers
To begin, you select a two-digit number. This number can range from 00 to 99. If you prefer, you can opt for the Quick Pick option, which allows the computer to randomly select your numbers for you.
Selecting Your Play Type
One of the distinctive features of PA Pick 2 is the variety of play types available. Your chosen play type dictates how your selected numbers must match the winning numbers drawn to secure a prize. You can play up to five separate panels on a single Pick 2 playslip, allowing for multiple number combinations or play types within one transaction.
Here’s an overview of the available play types:
| Play Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Straight | Your two-digit number must match the winning number in exact order. For example, if you pick '12', you only win if '12' is drawn. |
| Box | Your two-digit number must match the winning number in any order. For example, if you pick '12', you win if '12' or '21' is drawn. This applies to numbers with two different digits. |
| Straight/Box | This option combines both Straight and Box plays. You win if your number matches exactly (Straight) or in any order (Box). If it matches exactly, you win both payouts. If it matches in any order, you win the Box payout. |
| Super Straight | This play type allows you to win the highest possible Straight prize. It applies only if your two-digit number matches the winning number in exact order. For numbers with identical digits (e.g., '22'), this is the only way to play for a Straight win. |
| Front Digit | You win if the first digit of your number matches the first digit of the winning number. For example, if you pick '12' and '10' is drawn, you win the Front Digit prize. |
| Back Digit | You win if the second digit of your number matches the second digit of the winning number. For example, if you pick '12' and '02' is drawn, you win the Back Digit prize. |
By understanding these play types, players can customize their approach to the game based on their preferred risk and reward. For more details on the game and its results, you can visit the official Pennsylvania Lottery website.
