HOW IT WORKS:
Pick your lucky numbers every week, then watch the show on Cool FM Live on Facebook. If our adorable, adoptable shelter dogs pick the same numbers you picked – in the same order – you win! It’s that easy! Free to play and win – help us get more dogs adopted by sharing the show with all the dog lovers in your life.
Official Dogolotto Rules
Picking Numbers
- You may only pick one set of numbers per week.
- If you pick more than one set, only your most recent pick will be considered, and all others disqualified.
- You must pick three different numbers (no repeats — e.g., “7-3-7” is invalid).
- Picks with repeating numbers will be disqualified and are not eligible to win.
- We use systems to detect multiple entries from the same person. If we detect abuse, we may:
- Disqualify all but your most recent valid entry; or
- In severe cases, disqualify all of your picks and/or temporarily or permanently block you from playing.
Game Play
- On the show, shelter dogs will pick numbered tennis balls.
- A “pick” is defined as any ball a dog intentionally removes from the turf box.
- Examples:
- If a dog picks up a ball and drops or throws it outside the turf box — it counts.
- If a ball bounces off the dog without deliberate action — it does not count.
- Final decision on what constitutes a pick is made solely by the host, who will do their best to follow this definition.
Winning
- To win the Jackpot, you must match all three numbers, in exact order, during the correct week’s picking period.
- If multiple people pick the correct numbers in order, the first to pick the winning combo gets the jackpot, and the rest each get $50
- Your entry must pass our multiple picks detection systems after the episode concludes.
- You can also win a 2nd place prize by matching all three numbers in any order (same standards apply as Jackpot).
Prize Redemption
- Some prizes can be mailed or redeemed nationally; others must be picked up locally in Cochise County, Arizona.
- When entering, you must indicate whether you are a Local Entrant or National Entrant:
- Local winners claim all prizes.
- National winners receive national prizes only, and local prizes stay in the Jackpot for future local winners.
Prizes
- Each episode adds a new prize to the Jackpot.
- If nobody wins, all prizes carry over to the next show, growing the prize pool.
- 2nd place prizes vary by episode.
- Some balls may have hidden “Doggie Double” prizes:
- If a Doggie Double is picked, that prize is added to the Jackpot for that episode only.
- If not won, the Doggie Double prize returns to its ball for a future game — it does not permanently join the Jackpot prize pool.
