Washington State Lottery WA Lottery

The Washington Lottery was created in 1982 with the aim of generating some very welcome income for various state programs via monies it would raise from sales of its lotto tickets & is run by the government of the state of Washington.

 In addition to this – the Washington State Lottery is an active participant in causes that help to raise awareness about the risks that are evident due to problem gambling throughout Washington.

The Washington State Lottery – along with others – is a valuable partner of the Washington State Patrol and helps to support the Amber Alert Program across Washington State. The Amber Alert Program receives reports of missing or abducted children with the assistance and cooperation of lottery retailers and broadcasts this important information to the public via numerous outlets of media.

As well as this – the Washington State Lotto partners with Page Ahead – a not-for-profit organization that supports literacy at home for low-income families with children by providing  book donations.

The WA State Lottery has been a member of the Mega Millions consortium since September 4th 2002 & have been offering the Mega Millions game as part of its portfolio of games ever since.

The Washington Lottery also became a member of the MUSL – the Multi State Lottery Association – on January 31st 2010 and have included the Powerball lottery in its range since it joined.

Apart from the Multi State Mega Millions and Powerball, the WA State Lottery range includes, Hit 5, Match 4, Daily Game, Keno, & the game we shall take a look at here – the Washington Lotto.

Washington State Lotto Overview

Washington State Lotto is the main game in the Washington State Lottery product range. It is a traditional style of lotto jackpot game first launched by the Washington Lottery back in July 1984.

Jackpots for the Washington Lotto start off at US$ 1 MILLION and rollover each time they are not won. The resulting increase is then added onto the following draw’s jackpot which will rise in size each game until somebody eventually wins the jackpot prize. It will then revert to the starting top prize sum of US$ 1 MILLION once again.

The size of the lottery jackpot rollover increases are dependent upon the number of lotto ticket sales – the more people who play and the more lottery ticket sales the bigger the rollover jackpot.

The Washington Lotto uses a single matrix configuration of 6/49.

Draws for the Washington State Lotto take place three times per week on Monday, Wednesday & Saturday at 8pm Pacific Time.

Washington State Lotto How it Works

The WA State Lottery Lotto uses what’s called a 6/49 matrix for its Lotto gamewhich means that when you are playing the Washington Lotto you will need to select your 6 numbers out of a range of numbers from 1 to 49 – if you correctly match all 6 of the winning lotto numbers drawn then you will be a lucky winner of the Washington Lotto jackpot 1st prize.

In addition to the jackpot itself there are 3 more ways in which you can win this WA State Lottery with prizes to be won on the WA Lotto if you successfully match 5 of the 6 winning numbers drawn, 4 of the winning numbers or even just 3 of the numbers.

A Quick Pick facility is available when playing the Washington Lotto very much the same as the Lucky Dip option that is used in the UK National Lottery or Europe’s EuroMillions or many other USA Lottery games – meaning that you can ask your computer or retailer to randomly pick your Washington Lotto numbers for you.

2 Lines For Just US$ 1.00…

When playing the Washington Lotto you will need to select 2 sets of 6 numbers as you will receive 2 entries each time that you play.

So playing the Washington Lotto is simple – you just choose your own 2 sets of 6 numbers or use the random number generator Quick Pick facility to have them automatically selected for you.
