Quick Draw's rolling jackpot is available to every single player at no additional cost. A set of nine “Your Jackpot Numbers” (01-80) are randomly selected and printed at the bottom of every Quick Draw ticket. If all nine of the player’s numbers are selected in any of the Quick Draw drawings that the ticket is eligible for, the ticket wins a portion of the Progressive Jackpot based on the amount wagered per draw.

A $1 wager per draw ticket wins 10 percent of the jackpot, a $2 wager per draw ticket wins 20 percent of the jackpot, and so on. Any ticket with $10 wager per draw or higher will be eligible to receive 100 percent of the jackpot.
