Virginia Lottery launches new Pick 5 draw gameReply
Pick 5 and Pick 2 are the two up coming numbers games, but Pick 5 seems to be catching on more rapidly. There are now 8 states/jurisdictions in the US with a Pick 5 game. Much better than the 4 states/jurisdictions with a Pick 2 game.

Pa. Lottery adds 'Wild Ball' feature to all numbers gamesReply
You're spot on about Wild Ball and Pick-5. Doubles are very common. Wild Ball odds compared to odds of a traditional box is 3X better for Pick-3, 4X better for Pick-4, and 5X better for Pick 5. That 5X odds improvement over regular box makes Pick-5 more satisfying for players who side-bet and seek to win more often.

Florida Lottery revamps daily game lineupReply
According to the info I've read, Florida caps Pick 4 at $7 million, which is more reasonable. Though, as you mention, Florida Pick 5 is capped at $5 million.

Last I checked, PA Lottery caps Pick 4 at $10 million, Pick 3 at $20 million (though I could be remembering wrong; may be $10 million too), and Pick 5 is likely $20 million (past results for combos like 12345 seeming
