Kansas Lottery – Super Kansas Cash

KS Lottery – Kansas Lotto

The origins of the KS Lottery stem back to 1986 when the state voters of Kansas overwhelmingly decided upon the creation of an in-state lottery.

In 1987 the “Kansas Lottery Act” was passed and the KS Lottery was created with the aim of generating the largest amount of revenue it could, for Kansas state and at the same time to run its lottery operations with the highest level of integrity.

The government of Kansas runs the Kansas State Lottery and its very first tickets went on sale on November 12th 1987. These initial tickets were for the instant lottery game “Up and Away”.

The Kansas Lottery is a member of the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) who run the huge multi-state Powerball lottery and includes the Kansas Power Ball amongst its games.

Other games that the KS Lotto has to offer include various scratch-off tickets, the video lottery “MegaHits”, Hot Lotto, Keno, Pick 3, 2by2, Kansas Hold’Em and the game that we will be taking a closer look at here – Super Kansas Cash…

Super Kansas Cash – Overview

Super Kansas Cash is the traditional draw-style, lotto jackpot game of the Kansas State Lottery. It is Kansas state’s main lotto game and is going strong today having undergone various enhancements through the years.

The lotto game in Kansas was first introduced in 1988 with tickets first being sold on June 2nd. It was then called “Cash Lotto”.

On August 18th 1996 the “Cash Lotto” game was improved upon with the result being the introduction of the new lotto-style game “Kansas Cash”.

The current game – Super Kansas Cash – came into existence on February 17th 2002 as a much enhanced version of the previous Kansas Cash offering.

The Super Kansas Cash jackpot commences at US$ 100,000 and will rollover each time it is not won. This figure is then added onto the following draw’s jackpot and increases in size each draw until somebody wins it when it will revert to the starting jackpot sum of US$ 100,000 once again.

Super Kansas Cash is a 5+1 number lotto game which uses 2 matrices of 5/32 and 1/25. It differs slightly from many other USA lottery games in that for your US$ 1.00 entry cost you actually get 2 plays.
