California Daily Derby is one of the lottery games run by California Lottery for this state only. It is different from other lotteries because it is themed around a mock horse race. This game was started in 1998 and it has built up quite a large following in the state of California.
A person who plays the California Daily Derby lottery game has to choose three horses from a lineup and state which one comes first, second, and third in the mock race. The person also has to choose the time taken by the winning horse to finish the race. The California Daily Derby allocates prizes using the pari-mutuel system. This means that the winnings are dependent on two factors: the amount of money placed on each draw as well as on the number of people who have to share the prize money.
The California Daily Derby lottery is a very popular game because it gives players many options of winning money. Players can look to earn money through Win (when they match the first position), Exacta (when the match the first two positions), Trifecta (when they match all three winning positions) and Race Time or RT (when they get the racing time correct).
Each game of the California Daily Derby costs the player $2 per play. It is held every day as the name indicates.
