About North 5
North 5 has used 34 numbers since January 2025 (31 before). With so few numbers, a wheel on 10 or 12 of them catches three winning numbers on a good share of draws; each option above shows exactly how often.
Below the jackpot, prizes are fixed: $50 for four numbers, $5 for three and $1 for two. The jackpot starts at $25,000 and is won often, about one draw in nine in July to September 2026, so it rarely grows large.
What North 5 wheels cost
Each of these wheels guarantees a three-number match ($5) 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 of 34 | 8 | $8 | $56 | 1 in 14 draws, about once every 2 weeks |
| 10 of 34 | 17 | $17 | $119 | 1 in 7.2 draws, about once a week or more |
| 12 of 34 | 29 | $29 | $203 | 1 in 4.5 draws, about once a week or more |
| 15 of 34 | 55 | $55 | $385 | 1 in 2.6 draws, about once a week or more |
| 18 of 34 | 94 | $94 | $658 | 56% 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 278,256 chance at the top prize and returns about $0.23 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 North 5, going from 8 to 18 numbers takes the cost from $8 to $94 a draw, and the three-number guarantee from 1 in 14 draws to 56%. Lottery pools can afford the bigger wheels, which is where wheels make the most sense.
What is EZ Match?
For $1 more per line, you get an instant-win game printed on your ticket that pays on the spot. It's separate from the drawing, and it doubles a wheel's cost.
Can I play online?
No. Minnesota Lottery tickets are sold only in stores. The Minnesota Lottery app can turn your numbers into a digital playslip that the retailer scans.
