Baseball Bucks
Baseball Bucks is the newest lottery game to come to America, and the first game based directly on baseball results. A unique partnership was secured with the MLB which gave Baseball Bucks the go ahead to be created and use the official brand marks, logos and any other designs from the 30 MLB teams.
Tickets for Baseball Bucks will cost $5 and will act as a quick pick where the results from ten games from the MLB are randomly chosen and printed on your ticket. Your goal is to then match the results on your ticket with those that take place that day, with players needing to match a minimum of seven results in order to win a prize, and those matching all ten results winning the jackpot. The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 6, which is much more favourable than the 1 in 24 seen in games like Powerball and Mega Millions.
As of yet there is no official announcement for when Baseball Bucks will begin and where you will be able to play it, so please check back frequently here for updates. You can also find details of the game updates on the news section of sites like Lottery.net which covers all American Lottery Numbers.
