About the Kansas Lottery
The Kansas Lottery began with a successful constitutional amendment in 1986, with the lottery officially forming in 1987.
Like some state lotteries (e.g., Connecticut, South Dakota, and Washington), the Kansas Lottery doesn’t focus on raising money for particular types of state programs. Instead, its profits go to Kansas’ general fund, for eventual distribution among various projects, including economic development, prison construction and maintenance, and local juvenile detention facilities.
Since 1987, the Kansas Lottery has raised over $1.8 billion for the state. Over $3.3 billion in prizes have also been paid out to Kansas lottery winners over the years.
Kansas Lottery Tickets
You can buy Kansas Lottery tickets at any of the 1,700+ authorized retailers all over the state.
Can I purchase Lottery tickets online?
No, you can only buy KS Lottery tickets in person. As with most states, Kansas forbids the sale of tickets through the internet, over the phone, or by fax and mail.
KS Lottery Tickets Payment Methods
Unlike many state lotteries (like Arkansas and Louisiana), Kansas allows players to buy tickets using debit and credit cards. Accepted payment methods will still depend on each retailer, but there are no laws prohibiting the use of particular payment methods to buy KS lottery tickets.
Kansas Lottery Games and Drawing Schedules
Lucky for Life
Kansas offers Lucky for Life, a multi-state game that’s also played in 20+ states, including Arkansas, South Dakota, and Connecticut.
To play Lucky for life, you must pick 5 numbers from 1-48 and a Lucky Ball number from 1-18. Matching all 6 winning numbers nets you the jackpot, which is $1,000 a day for life.
Meanwhile playing Lucky for life, matching all 5 regular numbers but not the Lucky Ball will get you the second prize, which is $25,000 a year for life.
Lucky for Life draws take place every Monday and Thursday.
Lotto America
Lotto America is another multi-state game, and it's one of the KS Lottery’s biggest draw games. The jackpot starts at $2 million and rolls over each draw until somebody wins.
To play Lotto America, you must pick 5 numbers from 1-52 and another number (the Star Ball digit) from 1-10. Matching all six numbers snags you the jackpot prize.
You may also pay an additional $1 to activate the Star Ball Bonus, which multiplies any prize you win (except the jackpot) by the multiplier drawn for the day.
Lotto America draws are held every Wednesday and Saturday.
Super Kansas Cash
Super Kansas Cash is a thrice-weekly draw game with a starting jackpot of $100,000 that gets paid out in one lump sum by default. Players get two plays for a $1 bet.
To play, you must pick 5 numbers from 1-32 and another number from 1-25 (the Cash Ball). You must match all 6 winning draw numbers to hit the jackpot.
Super Kansas Cash draws are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
Pick 3
KS Lottery Pick 3 draws run twice a day, with a fixed jackpot of $500 for each draw. However, your Pick 3 maximum lottery prize depends on your chosen playstyle.
Pick 3 Players must select a number from 000 to 999 and a playstyle. To win Pick 3 highest jackpot ($500), players must match the winning draw numbers in exact order.
You can choose from the following playstyles:
- Exact Order (Straight): You must match the jackpot numbers in the exact order.
- Any Order (3-Way or 6-Way Box): You can match the jackpot numbers in any order.
Pick 3 draws are held twice a day at midday and in the evening.
2by2
Another multi-state game, the Kansas Lottery’s 2by2 game runs daily. Each draw carries a fixed jackpot of $22,000 that gets paid out in a lump sum by default.
To play, you must pick two numbers from 1-26 in your playslip’s Red area and another two digits from 1-26 in your playslip’s White area.
You can also double any prizes you win on Tuesday draws as long as you purchase a ticket for consecutive draws in multiples of 7 (e.g., 7 consecutive draws, 14 consecutive draws, and so on).

Kansas Lottery Fast Play Games
The Kansas Lottery also offers two kinds of fast play games. These operate using the Keno model, so new jackpot numbers are drawn every 4 or 5 minutes depending on the game.
- Kansas Lottery Keno: Players choose how many “spots” they want to play and select numbers for each spot. They win prizes based on how many of their numbers match the winning digits.
- Kansas Lottery Racetrax: Like California’s Daily Derby, players bet on virtual horse races and Kansas lottery winnings depending on how many of their picks match the race’s winning horses.
Kansas Lottery Second Chances
What is Second Chance?
Second chance games give you another chance to win Kansas lottery prizes with your non-winning draw game tickets or scratch cards. All you need to do is enter your non-winning lottery ticket and wait for the draw outcomes. Which tickets are eligible, the frequency of second-chance draws and the prizes on offer all depend on the lottery operator.

Like many other state lotteries, the Kansas Lottery runs limited-time second-chance promotions. You must be part of the Kansas Lottery PlayOn Loyalty Program to join these promotions. Luckily, registration is free and can be done online through the Kansas Lottery PlayOn portal.
