Lotto America is a multi-state lottery which relaunched in November 2017, giving participants the chance to win prizes in nine different tiers. Lotto America previously existed as a lottery game from 1988-1992 before being rebranded as Powerball, and has now been revived in an exciting new format following the cancellation of Hot Lotto.

Lotto America players are required to pick five main numbers from a range of 52, plus one Star Ball from a separate pool of 1 to 10. Alternatively, players can select the Quick Pick option to have Lotto America numbers randomly selected for them. Tickets costs $1 per line, but for an additional $1 players can also select an All Star Bonus option to have any non-jackpot prize multiplied - much like the Powerplay option in Powerball.
An All Star Bonus number is drawn at the end of each game, increasing the value of any prize apart from the jackpot by two, three, four or five times.
