The Pennsylvania Lottery launched Derby Cash Horse Racing, a new and highly anticipated virtual horse racing game that will have players on the edge of their seats. Every five minutes, players have the chance to win up to $800,000 on a $1 play. Purchases can be made anywhere Lottery games are sold and races can be watched at nearly 2,000 of the Lottery's retailers, mainly at bars and restaurants."We’re thrilled to announce the launch of anew virtual horse racing game that will give our players the experience of having a front-row seat for the racing action," said Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko. "Derby Cash Horse Racing is a key addition to the new products that are helping the Pennsylvania Lottery reach its goal of responsibly generating funds for programs that benefit older Pennsylvanians."Each race (drawing) consists of 12 thoroughbred horses, all having different chances of winning. Players can select from one to 12 horses to finish in up to four places: first, second, third, and fourth place, depending on the play type. Players may select their horse(s) to Win, Place or Show, or select one of the several other combination play types such as Quinella, Exacta, Trifecta and Superfecta. Players win by matching any of their selected combinations of race outcome to the winning results for that race. Prizes vary based on the play type selected.
