About Cash Ball 225
Cash Ball 225 is a 4-number game: pick four numbers from 1 to 35 and a Cash Ball from 1 to 25. Every prize is fixed: four numbers pay $2,250, or $225,000 with the Cash Ball; three pay $50, or $225.
Because only four numbers are drawn, wheels here cover the field quickly, and every guarantee has a known value.
What Cash Ball 225 wheels cost
Each of these wheels guarantees a three-number match (at least $50) whenever at least three of the winning numbers are among the ones you mark. The more numbers you mark, the more often that happens, and the more tickets it takes.
| Numbers you mark | Tickets | Cost per draw | Cost per week | How often the guarantee comes into play |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 of 35 | 6 | $6 | $42 | 1 in 88 draws, about once every 3 months |
| 8 of 35 | 14 | $14 | $98 | 1 in 33 draws, about once every 5 weeks |
| 10 of 35 | 30 | $30 | $210 | 1 in 16 draws, about once every 2 weeks |
| 12 of 35 | 57 | $57 | $399 | 1 in 9.4 draws, about once a week or more |
| 15 of 35 | 124 | $124 | $868 | 1 in 5.0 draws, about once a week or more |
The cost per week covers all 7 draws a week. The tool above also has cheaper wheels with weaker guarantees, and bigger ones that guarantee four or five numbers.

Can a wheel improve your odds?
No. Each line still has the same 1 in 1,309,000 chance at the top prize and returns about $0.37 in other prizes on average, however you choose its numbers. What a wheel changes is how your wins are grouped: random tickets can all miss even when the draw lands on your numbers, and a wheel makes sure at least one ticket catches them. How lottery wheels work.
Questions
How many numbers should I mark?
As many as your budget allows. In Cash Ball 225, going from 6 to 15 numbers takes the cost from $6 to $124 a draw, and the three-number guarantee from 1 in 88 draws to 1 in 5.0. Lottery pools can afford the bigger wheels, which is where wheels make the most sense.
Which Cash Ball should I use?
Your choice. Putting the same Cash Ball on every ticket means that if it's drawn, every ticket matches it. Mixing them means more of your tickets have a chance, but only one or two can match. On average the two pay the same.
Can I take this printout to the store?
Not as a playslip: Kentucky doesn't accept copied playslips. Copy your lines onto official playslips, read them to the clerk, or buy online: the Kentucky Lottery sells Cash Ball 225 on its website and app to players in Kentucky.
