Important Claim Information: Following the Pennsylvania Lottery’s recent computer system upgrade, we are working to process prize claims that were on hold for processing during the conversion to the new system. The estimated timeframe for claims processing is between eight and 12 weeks. Our team is working to process claims as quickly as we can. We appreciate everyone’s patience and apologize for any inconvenience.
Add-on to PICK games!
Wild Ball is an optional add-on for any PICK 2, PICK 3, PICK 4 or PICK 5 ticket that gives you more chances to win. At every Day and Evening drawing, we draw a one-digit Wild Ball number that applies to all four PICK games for that drawing.
When you purchase the option, the Wild Ball number drawn can replace another number drawn by the Lottery to help create a winning combination for your play.
The numbers on your ticket do not change. You must match the numbers on your ticket to one of the new winning combinations created by Wild Ball.
Adding Wild Ball doubles the cost of any play type and the payouts differ from base game play.
