Not familiar with the game? Here’s how it works, lottery officials say:
At the bottom of every Quick Draw ticket are nine “Your Jackpot Numbers,” ranging from 0 to 80. If you match all nine numbers, you win a portion of the progressive jackpot based on your wager. A $1 ticket earns 10 percent of the jackpot, a $2 ticket wins 20 percent, and any ticket valued at $10 or more wins 100 percent of the jackpot.
