How does Cash Pop work?
Most draw games ask you to match five or six numbers. Cash Pop asks for one. Each play is one number, called a "Pop", from 1 to 15. When the ticket prints, the system assigns a prize to that number and prints it underneath, so you know before the drawing exactly what the ticket is worth if it hits.
Then the lottery draws a single number. Match it and you win the printed amount; miss and the ticket loses. There is no partial match, no bonus ball and no multiplier to decide on. Florida's game rule puts it plainly: a system-generated prize amount prints immediately beneath each number played, and the prize may differ for each number.
That last point matters. Two tickets with the same number can carry different prizes, and if you play several numbers on one ticket each one gets its own prize. You are buying a number and a random payout together, and the drawing decides whether the pair pays.
How much does a Cash Pop ticket cost?
In most states you choose how much to put on each number: $1, $2, $5 or $10. The prize printed on the ticket scales with the play amount. According to the Georgia Lottery's Cash Pop page and Florida's game rule, the ranges are:
| Play amount | Smallest prize (5×) | Largest prize (250×) |
|---|---|---|
| $1 | $5 | $250 |
| $2 | $10 | $500 |
| $5 | $25 | $1,250 |
| $10 | $50 | $2,500 |
Florida added a $20 play on August 10, 2026, with a $100 minimum prize and a $5,000 top prize, and tiers at $140, $300, $400 and $2,000 in between, according to the Florida Lottery's $20 Cash Pop page. Pennsylvania, which launched the game in November 2025, also sells a $20 play with prizes up to $5,000.
Washington is the exception. Its rule (WAC 315-42) fixes every play at $5, allows up to five plays on one ticket for a $25 maximum, and sets prizes from $25 to $500 per $5 wagered.
What are the odds of winning Cash Pop?
The odds of your number being drawn are 1 in 15, every drawing, whatever you paid. That part is simple arithmetic: one winning number out of fifteen.
The odds of a particular prize are different, because the printed prizes are not spread evenly. Small prizes are common and the 250× top prize is rare. Georgia publishes per-prize odds from 1 in 31 for the smallest amount up to 1 in 8,250 for the top prize on a given play; Florida's rule lists a range from 1 in 31 to 1 in 15,000. So a $1 ticket showing $250 under your number is a rarer ticket to be holding than one showing $5, before the drawing even happens.
Can you guarantee a win? Yes, in most states, by playing all 15 numbers on one ticket. Georgia and Missouri both describe this "cover all" play: one of your numbers must be drawn, so one printed prize is paid. It costs 15 times the play amount, and the printed prizes decide whether the guaranteed win beats what you spent. At $1 a number, a $15 cover-all ticket wins somewhere between $5 and $250.
Which states have Cash Pop, and when are the drawings?

Sources: each state's draw schedule as published on its lottery site and reflected in Lottery Atlas's game data; the Florida draw times and five-second sales cut-off are in Florida rule 53ER23-45. Drawing names are the lotteries' own; Florida and Indiana simply call theirs Morning, Matinee, Afternoon, Evening and Late Night. Sales usually close moments before each drawing and reopen for the next one straight after, so a ticket bought at 1:05 PM in Georgia goes into the 5:00 PM Drive Time draw.
Each drawing has its own results page on this site, for example Florida Cash Pop Evening, Georgia Cash Pop Night Owl, Virginia Cash Pop Prime Time and Washington Cash POP. The state pages list every drawing time for that state.
How is Cash Pop different from Pick 3?
Both are quick daily games, but they work in opposite ways. Pick 3 has fixed prizes and a hard number to hit: a $1 straight bet pays $500 in most states because the odds of three digits in order are 1 in 1,000. Cash Pop flips that. The number is easy to hit, 1 in 15, and the lottery balances it by making the prize random and usually small. Most $1 tickets print a prize near the bottom of the range, not $250.
The other difference is choice. In Pick 3 you decide the bet type (straight, box, combo), and that choice sets your odds and payout. In Cash Pop there is nothing to decide beyond the number, the play amount and which drawing. The prize is handed to you. If you like controlling the risk, read how straight and box bets pay in Pick 3 and Pick 4. If you want the simplest possible ticket, Cash Pop is it.
Is Cash Pop a good bet?
It is a fast game with a high hit rate and modest prizes, which is exactly how it is designed. One ticket in fifteen wins, so a regular player sees wins often, and that frequency is what makes the game feel generous. Over time the lottery keeps its usual share; the random printed prizes are set so that the average payout stays well below the amount played, as with every draw game. Georgia also prints an instant prize of $2 to $20 on some retail tickets, at odds of 1 in 50 to 1 in 100, which is a sweetener rather than a change to the math.
Treat it as entertainment with a known cost. Five drawings a day make it easy to play more often than you planned, so decide on a budget per day rather than per drawing. If play stops feeling like a choice, the National Council on Problem Gambling helpline is 1-800-MY-RESET.
