The basic games are the Lotto, Dailies, Instant Games, Little Lottos and Multi-State Games. Then you have the Instant Games which are scratch-off tickets. The other lottery games are considered to be online games as they are made up of computer-generated tickets.

Below are some of the games that lottery lovers like to play.

Lotto: In this game six numbers are picked from a range of numbers. Florida's Lotto is where you draw six numbers from a possible 53. In Michigan, you are allowed to pick six numbers out a possible 47.

In order to play Lotto, you must pick your numbers on a play slip and then give it to the lottery retailer. You can find agents in gas stations, convenience stores and grocery stores. Your selection is entered into the online terminal by the lottery agent, and your game ticket is produced. Don't lose the official receipt because in case you are lucky enough to win the jackpot you have to present it to a lottery agent to have it validated.

In many states, the cost for just one chance at the Lotto is only a buck! You can find bargains in some states such as Illinois where you can get two plays for only $1.

Little Lottos: These games have much better odds so people tend to play them more often. For instance, in Florida Fantasy the player picks five numbers out of 36 and in Georgia you must choose 5 numbers out of 39.

You do the same thing with your ticket as is done with a regular Lotto ticket. The numbers that you pick do not need to be organized as the winning numbers are in order for you to win.

The Dailies: Do you want to try you luck at the lottery every day? Then you may want to play the Pick 3 and Pick 4. In most states these games can be played twice daily and one on Sunday. For Pick 3, a player may choose a three-digit number going from 000 to 999 whereas with a Pick 4 you choose any four-digit number ranging from 0000 to 9999.

Multi-state Games: Originally, states that had smaller populations banded together to create lotteries that had bigger jackpots. Today we have Mega Millions which is played in such states as California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio and Virginia.
