The Pennsylvania Lottery is adding Quinto, a numbers game similar to The Daily Number and BIG 4, but played with five numbers instead, to its lineup of mid-day and evening drawings.

"The Pennsylvania Lottery constantly strives to provide its players with new and innovative games," said Lottery Executive Director Ed Trees. "Quinto, which offers multiple ways to play and a top prize of $50,000 cash, will appeal to players who enjoy playing The Daily Number and BIG 4 games."

Quinto tickets go on sale Aug. 26, the same day its first mid-day and evening drawings will take place. Quinto drawings will be held twice daily, seven days a week.
