Daily Derby Details
How to Play
On your Daily Derby playslip you need to choose three horses- one to come first, one to come second and one to come third. If you are struggling to decide which horses you want on your playslip then fill in the Quick Pick option and they will be randomly chosen for you. The Quick Pick will choose all three horses for you, so you cannot choose one or two horses and then have the Quick Pick choose the remaining horse(s) for you.
The next step is to choose how long you think it will take for the winning horse to complete the race, with this being known as the “Race Time”. The race will always take between 1:40.00 and 1:49.99 (one minute and forty seconds dead to one minute, forty-nine seconds and ninety-nine milliseconds), so the player only has to choose how many seconds and milliseconds it will take between 1:40.00 and 1:49.99. So, for example, if you think the race will take 1:46.31 then you would just choose the numbers 6.31. You can also choose the Quick Pick option to have the Race Time randomly chosen for you.
The final step is to choose how many draws you want to enter in advance, which can be from 1-7 or 14. Each draw you enter will cost you $2, so if you enter for 14 draws in a row then your entry will cost you $28.
Check your selections are correct on your ticket once you have bought it and then sign the back of your ticket to make sure that, even if it is lost or stolen, someone else cannot claim your prize.
Prizes
There are seven different prize tiers in Daily Derby that vary depending on the number of positions you have matched correctly and whether you have correctly predicted the race time or not. The lowest prize is for correctly guessing the race winner, whilst you will need to match the first, second and third positions along with the race time in order to win the jackpot prize that is regularly six-figures in size. See the table below for a description of the prizes available and the odds of winning:
| Category | Match | Prize Amount | Odds of Winning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grand Prize | Top three horses and Race Time | Jackpot | 1 in 1,320,000 |
| Exacta/RT | Top two horses and Race Time | Est. $85 | 1 in 147,147 |
| Win/RT | Winning horse and Race Time | Est. $68 | 1 in 13,213 |
| Race Time | Race Time only | Est. $50 | 1 in 1,001 |
| Trifecta | Top three horses | Est. $500 | 1 in 1,321 |
| Exacta | Top two horses | Est. $23 | 1 in 147 |
| Win | Winning horse | Est. $3 | 1 in 13.2 |
As with all lottery prizes in California, the prize amounts will normally vary from draw to draw as they are Pari-mutuel, meaning that each person in a selected prize tier will win the same amount based on the size of the prize pool and the amount allocated to that tier.
Winners have up to 180 days after the draw to claim their prize. After this date the ticket will expire and prizes can no longer be claimed, with the unclaimed winnings being transferred to the California Education Fund.
