    Odds and prize statements are based on initial game prize structure and may vary over the life of the game. Entry or non-entry of YAHTZEE tickets to the Lottery Super 2nd Chance Drawings does not affect the prize structure of the YAHTZEE game.

  4. The frequency of drawings: There are no drawings in the YAHTZEE game, however, for a period of time and at the discretion of the Lottery Division Administrator, YAHTZEE tickets may count toward entry in Lottery Super 2nd Chance Drawings. The Wisconsin Lottery will not be responsible for any neglect, delay, failure or omission on the part of the U.S. Postal Service or any other delivery/courier service used to deliver a player's Super 2nd Chance Drawing mailing to the Wisconsin Lottery. The Lottery assumes no responsibility or liability for Super 2nd Chance tickets that are lost, or destroyed or otherwise disqualified from participation in a drawing when such tickets are in the control of the Lottery. All tickets sent to the Wisconsin Lottery to enter the Super 2nd Chance Drawings become property of the Wisconsin Lottery and will not be returned. Only tickets sent to and received at the correct address for entry into the Super 2nd Chance Drawing will be eligible for the Super 2nd Chance Drawing. The last Super 2nd Chance Drawing will be held on December 26, 2024. 
  5. The method of selecting winners: There are ten (10) separate ROLLS on each YAHTZEE ticket. Each ROLL in the play area contains five (5) play spots, each consisting of a dice symbol. Each dice symbol shown in the ROLL play area has a numerical value that is equal to the number of dots shown within the square that makes up that dice symbol. Dice symbol values in ascending order are One (1), Two (2), Three (3), Four (4), Five (5), Six (6).


    The winning dice symbol combinations (WINNING COMBINATIONS) in any one completely uncovered ROLL are as follows:

    The holder of a ticket showing a dice symbol combination in the uncovered play area of any one (1) ROLL that contains exactly three (3) “One” dice symbol values and two (2) dice symbols of different values shall win three dollars ($3).

    The holder of a ticket showing a dice symbol combination in the uncovered play area of any one (1) ROLL that contains exactly three (3) “Two” dice symbol values and two (2) dice symbols of different values shall win five dollars ($5).

    The holder of a ticket showing a dice symbol combination in the uncovered play area of any one (1) ROLL that contains exactly three (3) “Three” dice symbol values and two (2) dice symbols of different values shall win six dollars ($6).

    The holder of a ticket showing a dice symbol combination in the uncovered play area of any one (1) ROLL that contains exactly three (3) “Four” dice symbol values and two (2) dice symbols of different values shall win ten dollars ($10).

    The holder of a ticket showing a dice symbol combination in the uncovered play area of any one (1) ROLL that contains exactly three (3) “Five” dice symbol values and two (2) dice symbols of different values shall win fifteen dollars ($15).

    The holder of a ticket showing a dice symbol combination in the uncovered play area of any one (1) ROLL that contains exactly three (3) “Six” dice symbol values and two (2) dice symbols of different values shall win twenty-five dollars ($25).

    The holder of a ticket showing a dice symbol combination in the uncovered play area of any one (1) ROLL that contains exactly four (4) identical dice symbols of the same value ("4 of a Kind") and one (1) dice symbol of a different value, shall win fifty dollars ($50).

    The holder of a ticket showing a dice symbol combination in the uncovered play area of any one (1) ROLL that contains three (3) identical dice symbols of the same value and any other two (2) identical dice symbols of the same value ("Full House"), shall win one hundred dollars ($100). For example, the dice symbol combination of "Three", "Five", "Five", "Three", "Three" is considered a "Full House" WINNING COMBINATION.

    The holder of a ticket showing a dice symbol combination in the uncovered play area of any one (1) ROLL that contains four (4) consecutive (by value, in order) dice symbols ("Small Straight"), shall win five hundred dollars ($500).

    The holder of a ticket showing a dice symbol combination in the uncovered play area of any one (1) ROLL that contains five (5) consecutive (by value, in order) dice symbols ("Large Straight"), shall win one thousand dollars ($1,000).

    The holder of a ticket showing a dice symbol combination in the uncovered play area of any one (1) ROLL that contains five (5) identical dice symbols of the same value ("Yahtzee"), shall win thirty thousand dollars ($30,000).


    Each ROLL is played separately. Dots from one (1) die cannot be divided, separated, or combined with dots from any other die in order to reveal a WINNING COMBINATION; for example, a dice symbol value of "Six" cannot be used as three (3) "Two" dice symbol values. Dice symbols in a ROLL play area that are not needed for a WINNING COMBINATION do not affect the WINNING COMBINATION or the associated prize. Only one (1) prize may be won for each ROLL.

    The location of each dice play symbol within an individual ROLL does not affect whether that ROLL will match a WINNING COMBINATION (e.g., a ROLL showing a "Two", "Five", "Two", "Two", "Four" in that order would be considered three (3) "Two" dice symbol values and therefore shall win five dollars ($5) as previously described in these Features and Procedures, despite not being in numerical order).

    A winning ticket can win only the highest prize possible for each winning ROLL as previously described in these Features and Procedures. (For example, a winning ROLL containing a "4 of a Kind" WINNING COMBINATION can only win fifty dollars ($50).)

    The highest prize that can be won on YAHTZEE is $30,000.
