2by2 (lottery)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2by2 is a lottery game played in the US states of Kansas, Nebraska, and North Dakota. It is administered by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL, better known for Powerball.) Kansas and Nebraska started the game in 2002; North Dakota joined in 2006.

Players choose two numbers from 1-26 in each of two number fields. Only one number (in either field) is needed for a win. The top prize of $22,000, orginially $20,000 (which is fixed, rather than a jackpot) is won by matching all four numbers. The game is drawn nightly, including Sundays.

Players who buy a ticket good for seven consecutive drawings are eligible for a doubling of the grand prize (to $44,000) on Tuesdays.

MUSL, from 1996 to 1998, offered a similar game called Daily Millions, with a grand prize of $1 million cash. Daily Millions had three number fields, in which players chose two numbers each.
