Lakes, loons, and six-month winters. Some of the best things are only available in Minnesota. Gopher 5 is one of those things. It only takes $1 to play for jackpots that start at $100,000.
Leave it all up to luck and ask for a Gopher 5 quick pick or choose your own numbers. Pick five numbers from 1 – 47.
Win by matching two, three, four or five numbers. Match all five to win the jackpot.
Multi-draw Tickets: You can purchase a ticket good for up to 14 draws at your favorite retailer. If you choose to play more than one draw, your ticket will include a drawing date range instead of a single drawing date. If you choose to cash in your winnings at any retail location before the final draw, a trailer ticket will be printed for any subsequent drawings still active on the ticket.
Play slips are available at all lottery retailers.
