What a Cash Five wheel does
A wheel takes more numbers than fit on one line and spreads them across several tickets in a careful pattern. The pattern guarantees a minimum win whenever enough of the winning numbers are among the ones you picked.
For example, one 10-number wheel uses 17 tickets ($17 a draw). If three of the five winning numbers are among your 10, at least one ticket matches three ($15). With 10 numbers out of 35, that happens on 1 in 7.8 draws.
What it doesn't do
A wheel can't change the odds of the draw. Each line has the same 1 in 324,632 chance at the top prize as any other, and returns about $0.49 in other prizes on average, whether you use a wheel, quick picks or birthdays.
What a wheel changes is how your wins are grouped. Random tickets can all miss even when the draw lands on your favorite numbers. A wheel makes sure at least one ticket catches them.
Cash Five prizes are fixed: $15 for three numbers, $350 for four and $25,000 for all five, plus a free ticket for two. That makes it one of the easiest games to wheel, because you know exactly what each guarantee is worth.
With 35 numbers and six draws a week, the draw lands on enough of your numbers fairly often. Each option above shows exactly how often.
Cash Five prizes and odds
| Match | Prize | Odds per line |
|---|---|---|
| 5 numbers | $25,000 | 1 in 324,632 |
| 4 numbers | $350 | 1 in 2,164 |
| 3 numbers | $15 | 1 in 74.63 |
| 2 numbers | Free ticket | 1 in 8.00 |
All prizes are fixed. The $25,000 top prize is paid to each winner when there are three or fewer; with four or more, $75,000 is split equally among them. Average return counts a free ticket at its $1 price. Check the official rules and results at texaslottery.com.
Questions
How many numbers should I mark?
As many as your budget allows. More numbers make the guarantee pay off more often, but they need more tickets.A wheel that guarantees a three-number match whenever three of your numbers are drawn costs $17 a draw with 10 numbers and $29 with 12. Wheels with weaker guarantees cost less. Office pools can afford bigger wheels, which is where wheels make the most sense.
How do I play these tickets?
Print them and fill in a playslip line for each ticket at any Cash Five retailer, or enter them in the lottery's app if it sells tickets online in your area.
What if several people match all five?
Each wins $25,000 as long as there are three winners or fewer. With four or more, $75,000 is split equally among them.
Is this site part of Cash Five?
No. LotteryWheels.com is an independent site and doesn't sell tickets. Always check your tickets against the official results at texaslottery.com.
