What Can I Win?

Beat the Table and you win!

	If your best five-card hand Beats the Table (beats all four opponents' hands on the screen), you win a share of the prize pot for every $2 you bet.
	If no ticket holder Beats the Table, all the ticket holders with the next best hand win or share the prize pot for every $2 they bet.
	The number of players participating in a particular draw will determine the amount of that prize pot.
	A tie is considered a loss.

Win the Bad Beat!

You could win the Bad Beat Jackpot if:

	You have a Straight Flush or 4-of-a-Kind and you also did not beat the top opponent’s hand.
	You must use your best possible five-card hand and it must be stronger than just the five community cards alone (your pocket card cannot be used to create your best five-card hand in place of the equivalent card from the community cards).
	Your hand must contain at least one of your pocket cards (from your ticket) and the top opponent’s best five-card hand must also contain at least one of the opponent’s pocket cards.
	Also, if multiple players’ hands qualify, only the best Bad Beat hand will be awarded the jackpot. In the event of a tie, the jackpot is shared.
	The Bad Beat Jackpot, if won, is split equally by the number of winning shares of the total jackpot.
