Colorado Lotto+ Multiplier
If you’re not familiar with lottery multipliers, this feature on your ticket can multiply non-jackpot winnings by a certain amount. Many games have a multiplier feature, including Colorado Lotto+.
When you play Colorado Lotto+, each ticket will include a variable multiplier (2X, 3X, 4X, 5X). This is not an add-on—like the Powerball Power Play, which costs an additional $1. Instead, the Colorado Lotto+ multiplier is included automatically on your ticket. Here’s how it works: any winnings (not including the jackpot) will be multiplied by the multiplier amount shown on your ticket. Matched 5 numbers and have the 2X multiplier on your ticket? Your $250 prize now becomes $500.
| Multiplier | Odds |
| 5X | 1 in 10 |
| 4X | 1 in 10 |
| 3X | 3 in 10 |
| 2X | 1 in 2 |
What's Plus?
Plus is a $1 add-on to your ticket for a second chance at winning!
The numbers on your ticket are used for an additional drawing conducted immediately after the Colorado Lotto+ drawing. If all six of your numbers match the second set of numbers drawn, you'll win a $250,000 Plus top prize. Any other winnings (matching 3 up to 5 numbers and not including the 6 of 6 jackpot) will be multiplied by the multiplier amount shown on your ticket.
The numbers drawn for both Colorado Lotto+ and the Plus option will be available after the drawing. Any wins from both the Colorado Lotto+ and Plus drawings will be combined.
