New draw game from state lottery

Hit 5 launched Sunday, the latest draw game from Washington’s Lottery. It replaces Quinto.

For each $1 ticket, players select five numbers between 1 and 39 or have the computer generate Quick Pick numbers. Drawings start today and will be each Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

Players who match all five numbers win the big Hit 5 cashpot, but those who match at least two numbers still win.
