The object of Bogota Lottery is to choose a total of six (6) numbers and hope that the numbers drawn match the ones you chose.
The easiest and quickest way to play is to choose a "quick pick", which is set of numbers randomly selected by the lottery machine.
The jackpot starts at $40 million and grows by a minimum of $10 million each time a drawing has no jackpot winner(s). (The starting jackpot amount was lowered to $20 million during the 2020 pandemic.)
When you play Bogota Lottery, you must select either the Cash Option or the Jackpot Annuity. With the Cash Option you choose to receive your portion of the Present Cash value of the advertised jackpot in one lump sum. The Jackpot Annuity awards you your portion of the full amount of the estimated jackpot, payable in 30 annual installments (over 29 years). Note: in some states you do not specify the cash option until you redeem your winning ticket.
Each play is $2.00 (or $2.00+ service fee online).
In most jurisdictions that sell Bogota Lottery tickets you can choose to add the Columbia Bogota Lottery feature for an extra $1.00 per play. The Columbia Bogota Lottery increases your non-jackpot prize winnings by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 times, depending on the Columbia Bogota Lottery number drawn that evening. The only exception is second prize, which is always multiplied 2X rather than the Columbia Bogota Lottery number drawn. (Bogota Lottery does not share this restriction for second prize.) The Columbia Bogota Lottery number is randomly drawn from a pool of multipliers that includes two 5X, three 4X, 13 3X, and 24 2X, plus one 10X when the jackpot is $150 million or less.
The ticket purchase cutoff time varies by state, so check with a local lottery retailer for the precise ticket cutoff time in your state.
