The Board consists of a chairman and other board members who do not exceed 4 in number. Among the many powers and duties of the NLCB are to issue tickets for lotteries under its umbrella including the Trinidad and Tobago Cashpot. It also fixes the price as well as the number of tickets to be issued for a particular lottery. The number and value of Cashpot prizes are also apportioned by this same authority. The board receives special and general direction on how to operate from the minister.

How to Play Trinidad and Tobago Cashpot

In order for you to participate in the Cashpot drawing, you must obtain a ticket from authorized dealers in Trinidad and Tobago. To do this, you have to visit an authorized agent under NLCB. Once you are there, you will be given a play slip which you fill out and then return to the agent together with the cash so that you can be issued a ticket.

The Cashpot play slip has 5 panels ranging from A to E. each panel has numbers ranging from 1 to 20 and you have the liberty to play any number of panels you wish. Out of the 20 numbers in each panel, you are required to select 5 of them. When crossing out the preferred numbers, you should use a pencil or pen, but not one with red ink.

In the event you make a mistake while crossing the numbers, you should mark the void box at the bottom of the affected panel, but do not erase the numbers.

Manual Picking versus Quick Pick

There are two ways to pick your numbers, you can manually pick them based on your preferences or use the Quick Pick system where the computer terminal does the selection of numbers for you. On one play slip, you can do a mix of both Quick Pick and manual picking on different panels, but you can do that on the same panel.

Advance Draws

The system also allows you to play advanced draws from 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10. To do this, you should mark the appropriate box on the left section of your play slip under the part of the draw. For each of the advance draws, you will play the same numbers because the system doesn’t have the option of selecting unique numbers for each draw.

Multiple Combinations

Trinidad and Tobago Cashpot is one of the few games that allows you to play multiple combinations. On the left side of the play slip, there is the system column that has 6, 7, 8, and 9 combinations and a check box to the right of each combination. If you want to play system 6, simply check the box next to the number 6 and do the same for systems 7, 8, and 9.

When you choose a sixth number on a play panel, it will generate 6 separate wagers with each costing $4 thereby costing $24.  It also adds a multiplier of $1 per wager, giving a total of $6 for the multiple. The amount you are to give the agent for your ticket will be $30.

When you choose a 7^th number in one panel, it will generate 21 wagers at $4 each giving you $84. The multiplier will be $1 for each wager for a total of $21. The amount you are to give the agent is $105.

Choosing an 8^th number will generate 56 wagers costing you $224 and a multiplier of $56 giving you a total of $280.

The last combination is the choice of a 9^th number which gives you 126 separate wagers for a cost of $504 which, if added to the multiplier of $126, will cost you $630.

• The date and the number of the draw lottery
• The serial number and the ticket price
