FAQ
Q: What is End Zone Cash?
A: End Zone Cash is part of the virtual Xpress Sports lineup and features 16 different teams with NFL Alumni players. Each team has a pre-determined chance of winning, with Team 1 always having the best chance of winning. The actual football teams (i.e. Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, etc.) assigned as Team 1, Team 2, Team 3, and so on, will change from drawing to drawing.
Every four (4) minutes, eight matchups with full game highlights will be shown during one drawing. The scores will change with every Touchdown (TD) and Field Goal (FG). Each of the eight matchups will result in a winning team for that matchup.
Q: How do you play End Zone Cash?
A: Before each drawing, you must select (i.e. parlay) three or more teams you think will win for that drawing. At the end of a drawing, each of the eight matchups will result in a winning team for that matchup. The number of touchdowns scored from all matchups will also be combined for the optional Touchdown Multiplier add-on feature. The more touchdowns there are between all the matchups, the higher the guaranteed multiplier. If added to a purchase, the Touchdown Multiplier will triple the cost of a play. To check if you have won, use a ticket checker at any Lottery retailer or use the PA Lottery Official App to scan your ticket.
Q: What does parlay mean?
A parlay, in End Zone Cash, means one purchase is made on three or more outcomes that are tied together for the chance at a prize. For the selected parlay to win, all outcomes involved must win. If a single outcome in the parlay does not win, the entire parlay does not win.
Q: What are the parlay options for End Zone Cash?
A: For End Zone Cash, the minimum number of teams that must be in a parlay is three and the maximum number of teams is eight. If you pick three teams to parlay, all three teams selected must win their matchup in order to win a prize (see Example below). If you pick four teams to parlay, all four teams selected must win their matchup in order to win a prize, and so on.
Example: Team 1, Team 3, and Team 7 were selected as a 3 TEAM PARLAY to win their respective matchups. If all three selected teams win, you win the corresponding prize for that combination. If only two of the three teams win their matchups, there is no prize awarded since a parlay requires all selected teams win in order to win a prize.
Q: What are the Team matchups and chances of a specific Team winning?
A: The matchups will always be the same pairing (i.e. Team 1 will always play Team 16) for every drawing, but the actual football teams that are randomly assigned to the below Team numbers will vary from drawing to drawing. Team 1 will always have the best chance of winning:
| Matchup Team #1 |
Chance of Winning Matchup |
Matchup Team #2 |
Chance of Winning Matchup |
| Team 1 |
1 in 1.33 (75%) |
Team 16 |

Q: How much does it cost to play End Zone Cash?
