Maryland 5 Card Cash Results

How to Play

5 Card Cash was a terminal-generated poker game where each $2 ticket featured five randomly selected playing cards from a standard 52-card deck. Players had two opportunities to win with each ticket.

Ticket Purchase: No playslip was required. Simply ask the retailer for a 5 Card Cash ticket. The terminal automatically generated five random cards for you from a standard deck (no jokers).

Two Ways to Win:

1. Instant Win: As soon as your ticket printed, you could instantly win if your five-card poker hand was a pair of Jacks or better. Instant win prizes ranged from $2 to $10,000 based on the poker hand strength.

2. Daily Drawing: Every evening, five cards were randomly selected from a standard 52-card deck. You won by matching 2 or more of the five cards drawn. The more cards you matched, the bigger the prize.

• Royal Flush: $10,000
• Straight Flush: $5,000
• Four of a Kind: $500
• Full House: $100
