A friend sends you five digits and says, “Try these.” You may know the numbers, but you still don’t know the entry. Which game? Which draw? Which play variant?
Pick 5 has a simple starting point: five digits. The details around them decide how the ticket is read, so let’s go through those before anything is confirmed.
First, what are you picking?
You select 5 digits, each from 0 to 9. Repeated digits are allowed. The entry cost is ₦100 per play, so check the total cost of everything on your confirmation screen.
What does the order change?
With Straight, your digits need to match the result in the exact order. For example, 1-2-3-4-5 and 5-4-3-2-1 are different ordered sequences. Seeing the same digits in a different order does not meet the Straight condition.
Box accepts eligible rearrangements. Straight/Box combines the two types using the same digits. Each has its own matching conditions, so read the variant name as carefully as the selection itself.
Repeated digits need a closer look
The pattern of your digits affects Box eligibility and the payout category. A selection with repeated digits does not have the same pattern as one where every digit is different. Use the prize table for your exact combination rather than assuming that every Box entry is treated alike.
Put the closing time in your plan
The daily draw is scheduled for 6:30pm, but entries close at 6:15pm. Keep the earlier time in mind when checking the draw.
Before you confirm, check that the game and draw shown on Golotto are the ones you intended. Save the ticket or digital confirmation so you can compare the details with our Golotto results later.
What should you remember?
Your digits, their order and your play variant belong together. If one part is unclear, pause and read our Pick 5 rules before deciding. Choosing a familiar sequence or using someone else’s suggestion does not guarantee a result.
