There was a question about how the EZ Match numbers are selected. One player changed his Show Me Cash play in hopes of hitting EZ Match.
There's a big difference between the two games. It's important to understand that there is not one set of winning EZ Match numbers for each drawing - the game is instant using the numbers you've selected.
EZ Match determines winners instantly, somewhat like a Scratchers game. With EZ Match, the Lottery has created a prize pool of tickets that includes winners and non-winners. When EZ Match is selected, the Lottery's Computer Gaming system randomly picks a ticket from the prize pool ( a bit like drawing a raffle ticket). If the ticket is a winner, the system chooses one or more EZ Match numbers to match the Show Me Cash numbers and prints those on the ticket, along with the amount that was won. If the ticket did not win an EZ Match prize, the system then randomly picks five numbers that are different from the Show Me Cash numbers on the ticket and assigns arbitrary values to each of them.
Don't look at it as trying to select the winning EZ Match numbers. Pick your numbers to win the Show Me Cash jackpot, and EZ Match will determine if you're an instant winner.
