Bonus Match 5
How to Play
Visit a Maryland Lottery Retailer
You must be 18 years old or older to buy or cash Bonus Match 5 tickets.
Provide the Maryland Lottery retailer with your playslip or use a self-service terminal to manually select your numbers or select “quick pick.” Before you use your playslip, be sure to verify that the numbers selected on your playslip are the numbers you want to play.
About Bonus Match 5 Playslips:
- Playslips are available at any Maryland Lottery® retail location or create and use the ePlayslip available on the MD Lottery mobile app.
- Each playslip has nine game boards, lettered A through I. You may play one board for $1, three boards for $2, four boards for $3, six boards for $4, seven boards for $5, or nine boards for $6.
- You must select five numbers from 1 to 39 on each board you want to play. If too many or too few numbers are selected on any board, the playslip will be rejected.
- Make a heavy vertical mark through each number you choose. Use pencil or blue or black ink. Red ink will not be accepted. If you make a mistake mark the white box next to “VOID” at the bottom of that board, then use any remaining open boards to complete your selections. Please do not attempt to erase errors.
- If you want the terminal to randomly “Quick Pick” your numbers, mark the “QP” box at the bottom of each board you want to play.
- If you are using the ePlayslip on the MD Lottery mobile app, follow the same instructions, but instead of handing your paper playslip to the retailer for processing, your ePlayslip will be scanned from your mobile phone.
- It is your responsibility to make sure your playslip represents the numbers you wish to play, the drawing(s) you want to enter, and all other information you want.
