Key points
- Many US games offer optional add-ons for an extra charge.
- Add-ons usually change prize amounts or add new ways to win.
- They increase what you spend per ticket.
What add-ons are
Some US lottery games let you pay extra for an optional feature. In certain digit games, for example, an added number can create more ways to match. Other games offer multipliers that raise non-jackpot prizes.
What they change
- Cost: often doubles the price of a play.
- Prizes: may raise certain prize amounts.
- Ways to win: some add-ons add new matching options, usually with their own smaller prize table.
Questions to ask first
- How much extra does it cost per play?
- Which prize levels change, and by how much?
- Does it fit inside my weekly budget?
A budget-first approach
An add-on can make play more interesting, but it also raises spending. Use the budget planner to see what a year of play really costs.
