Match 6 – Prizes & Chances

Important Claim Information: Due to upgrades to the Lottery's computer systems, after February 16, 2024, claims will temporarily take longer to process. The estimated timeframe for claims processing will be eight to 12 weeks. We expect processing times to return to normal after April 1. Thank you for your patience.

Match 6 Lotto is the PA Lottery game with a starting jackpot of $500,000 and lots of ways to win Lottery prizes! The Match 6 Lotto jackpot grows until someone picks the winning Lottery numbers. If more than one person wins the jackpot, the winners will split the Match 6 Lotto jackpot prize. All Match 6 Lotto Lottery prize payments, including the jackpot prize, will be made as one-time, lump-sum cash payments. A winning ticket is entitled only to the highest prize won by those numbers on each play, plus the highest prize won by those numbers on the combined game. Check out the charts below for details on Match 6 Lotto prizes and CHANCES OF WINNING*, and check out the official Match 6 Lotto rules.
