context_section_description: The Lottery – a weekly game where the participant chooses 6 numbers out of 37 and an additional one number out of 7. Mifal HaPais draws 6 numbers of 37 and 1 number of 7, and the maximum prize is paid for matching all of them. Various options allow the user to bet double, play random numbers, 5 numbers plus a random number, or all combinations of 7–12 numbers. The drawings are held once on Tuesday and once on Saturday, with occasional drawings on Thursday. The prize pool is a minimum of ₪4,000,000 and a maximum of ₪56,000,000.
  Chance – a game using a virtual stripped deck of playing cards, with only the A and K–7 of each suit (32 cards). The participant chooses four cards – one of each suit. Mifal HaPais draws four cards (one from each suit) and the participant can win by matching 1, 2, 3, or 4 winning cards. Three different variants are available, with different payout schedules. The game is run every two hours 10:00–22:00 Sunday–Thursday, 10:00, 12:00, and 14:00 on Fridays and holidays, and 21:00 and 22:45 on Saturday.
  Keno – A standard keno-type game. The participant chooses 7–9 numbers out of 70. Mifal HaPais draws 17 numbers. A fixed multiple of the amount wagered is paid for getting different numbers of choices correct.

The game is run at 21:00 Sunday–Thursday, 13:00 Friday, and 22:45 Saturday.
