Jamaica's lottery is operated by Supreme Ventures Limited (SVL) and includes several games — from the flagship Lotto to daily Cashpot, Pick 2, Pick 3, Lucky 5, and Dollaz. This guide covers every major game, odds, draw times, and how to generate smarter numbers for each.
Jamaica Lotto (6/36)
The main jackpot game. Players pick 6 numbers from 1–36. Draws are every Wednesday and Saturday evening.
- Jackpot odds: 1 in 1,947,792 — far better than Powerball (1 in 292M)
- Minimum jackpot: J$30 million
- Ticket price: J$80 per line
Most Common Jamaica Lotto Numbers
Based on historical SVL draw data:
- Hot numbers: 4, 9, 17, 22, 31, 35
- Cold numbers: 1, 13, 26, 33
Cashpot
The most frequently played game in Jamaica. Pick one number from 1–36 plus a "heart" from 1–6. Draws happen four times daily — morning, midday, afternoon, and evening.
Cashpot is very similar to Trinidad's Cash Pot — both are NLCB-style games popular across the Caribbean. The multiple daily draws make it easy to play every day.
Pick 2 & Pick 3
Players select 2 or 3 digits (0–9). Match them in exact order for the top prize, or in any order for a smaller prize. Draws happen daily.
- Pick 2 exact match: Pays approximately 50:1
- Pick 3 exact match: Pays approximately 500:1
Lucky 5
Choose 5 numbers from 1–35. The more you match, the higher the prize. Lucky 5 draws every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Strategies for Jamaica Lottery Games
Jamaica Lotto — Balanced Selection
With only 36 numbers, the pool is small. Avoid clustering in the low numbers (1–18) — historical winning combinations tend to spread across both halves. A 3-low/3-high split works well.
Cashpot — Hot Heart Strategy
Heart 2 and Heart 5 appear most frequently in Caribbean Cashpot-style games. Combine with a hot main number (7, 14, 21, or 28) for the highest-probability pairing.
Pick 3 — Box Play
Instead of exact order, "box" your Pick 3 numbers to win in any order. This pays less but wins roughly 6× more often — better expected value for casual players.
Where to Buy Jamaica Lottery Tickets
