How to Play
To play North 5, pick five numbers from 1 to 34. You can choose your own numbers or select Quick Pick for randomly generated numbers. Each play costs $1. Win by matching two, three, four, or all five numbers. Match all five to win the jackpot, which starts at $25,000 and keeps growing until won. North 5 is known for having the best odds among Minnesota's jackpot games due to the smaller number pool (1-34 vs. 1-47 in Gopher 5).

EZ Match Add-On: For an additional $1 per play, you can add EZ Match for a chance to win instant prizes ranging from $2 to $500. When you add EZ Match, five random numbers are printed in the "EZ Match" section of your ticket, each with a prize amount next to it. If any of the five North 5 numbers you picked match any of the EZ Match numbers shown, you instantly win the prize amount shown next to that EZ Match number - before the drawing even takes place. The overall odds of winning any EZ Match prize are 1 in 5.10. EZ Match is an instant-win feature, so you know immediately if you've won.
Quick Pick: The Quick Pick option allows the lottery terminal computer to randomly select your five numbers. This is the fastest and most popular way to play.
Multi-Draw: Purchase tickets for up to 14 consecutive drawings at retail locations. Your selected numbers will be played for each drawing without needing to buy a new ticket each day. This is convenient for players who like to play the same numbers regularly.

If multiple players win the jackpot, it is divided equally among all winners.
