Daily Grand Explained: Annuity Prizes and the Grand Number
2026-05-23 · 5 min read
Why Daily Grand's structure differs from jackpot games, and how the 1-to-7 Grand Number affects the top prize odds.
Format
Daily Grand draws five numbers from 1 to 49, plus a separate Grand Number from 1 to 7, on Mondays and Thursdays. The top prize is an annuity of $1,000 a day for life, with a lump-sum option.
The maths
There are 1,906,884 ways to choose five from 49. Multiply by the seven possible Grand Numbers and you get 13,348,188 outcomes, giving 1 in 13,348,188 for the top prize. Matching five main numbers without the Grand Number pays the second prize, $25,000 a year for life.
Analysis note
Because the Grand Number is drawn from a separate seven-ball pool, it must be analysed separately from the main numbers. Combining them into one frequency table is a common and misleading error.
