 Match
a three-digit number exactly to win $500 with
a $1 wager.
Boost is a new feature you can add to Pick 3. Boost adds 5 sets of Easy Pick Exact Order numbers to your regular Pick 3 ticket. When one of the Boost numbers matches the drawn Pick 3 winning number in exact order, players win $100 for a $1.00 wager and $50 for $.50 wager.

Exact
Order pays $500
For a chance to win $500, play Exact Order for
$1. If you play the number 123 in Exact Order,
for example, you will win $500 if 123 is drawn
in that same order. When you play Exact Order,
you do not win a prize if 321 or another combination
is drawn. Chances of winning Exact Order are 1
in 1,000.
Any
Order pays $80 or $160
The Any Order play has several winning combinations.
If you play 123 Any Order for $1, you win $80
if the winning number is 123, 132, 213, 231, 312
or 321. With six different ways to win, chances
of winning are 1 in 167.
If your three-digit number
has a pair of digits that are the same, you would
win $160 if you play Any Order for $1. If you
play 113 Any Order, for example, you would win
$160 if the winning number is 113, 131 or 311.
With just three different ways to win, chances
of winning are 1 in 333. It’s harder
to win, so that’s why the prize is higher.
Pick
3 Pairs
To play Pick 3 Pairs, select two digits and their
positions on a Pick 3 playslip. Each Pairs wager
costs $1 or 50 cents. You win if the Pick 3 number
drawn has your pair in the exact same order and
in the exact same location that you played that
pair. You win $50 if you wager $1; you win $25
if you wager 50 cents.
All Pick 3 Pairs wagers are
Exact Order. If you bet 1-2 Front Pair, and the
first two digits in the winning Pick 3 number
are 1-2 in that order, you win. If the first two
digits are 2-1 in that order, or if 1-2 are the
last two digits, or if 1-2 are the first and last
digits, you do not win if you played 1-2 Front
Pair. You cannot use any of the other play options
(Exact Order, Any Order, 50/50, Combo) with the
pairs option.
On the playslip:
- Mark Day, Night or Both.
- Select the two digits for
the Pairs option.
Front Pair: Mark one digit in column 1 and column
2.
Back Pair: Mark one digit in column 2 and column
3.
Split Pair: Mark one digit in column 1 and column
3.
- Mark Front, Back or Split.
- Do NOT mark Exact Order,
Any Order, 50/50, or Combo.
- Mark $1 or 50 cents.
- You can play up to five
pairs on a playslip.
On the Pick 3 ticket, the digit
you did not select will appear as an X.
When you play Pick 3 Pairs,
the other digit in the winning number will not
affect the outcome of your pair.
Other
ways to play Pick 3
You can:
- Wager 50 cents on a Pick
3 number or pair. If you win with a 50 cent
wager, you win half the prize for a $1 wager.
- Play 50/50 and split your
wager – half on Exact Order and half on
Any Order. Not available on Pick 3 Pairs wagers.
- Play Easy Pick and let the
computer pick your number. Check the chart above
for details on Pick 3 prizes, options and the
chances of winning.
- Play COMBO: Wager $1 on
all exact-order combinations of a Pick 3 number.
Win $500 if one of those combinations is drawn.
Boost can be added to any Pick 3 wager of $.50 or $1.00 by using the Pick 3/Boost playslip.
Mark the Boost box on each panel chosen or ask your Lottery retailer to BOOST your Pick 3 wager. The cost to add Boost to a $.50 Pick 3 wager is an additional $.50. The cost to add Boost to a $1.00 Pick 3 wager is an additional $1.00. Additional Pick 3 wagers with Boost can be selected for Day, Night or Both drawings.
If you select BOTH draws, Boost numbers for the DAY draw will be the same as Boost numbers for the NIGHT draw. Boost can be selected for multi-draw and future draws. Because Boost numbers are random Exact Order Easy Picks, it is possible that they might be repeated on the same ticket. If a repeated Boost number matches the Pick 3 number drawn you’d win twice.
When one of the Boost numbers matches the drawn Pick 3 winning number in exact order, players win $100 for a $1.00 wager and $50 for $.50 wager.
Playing more than one drawing increases the ticket price by the number of drawings you choose.
Multi-Draw: Play more than one drawing (up to 91), including the next.
Future: Play one future drawing, except the next.
Repeat: Your play repeats for more than one ticket.
Popular numbers sell out sometimes. Buying Pick 3 numbers is similar to buying tickets to a ball game or a concert: Any number could sell out. If you buy Pick 3 tickets early in the day, or in advance, you should be able to get the number you want.
For a Pick 3 drawing, 16,000 Exact Order tickets are available for each number. If a sold-out Pick 3 number is drawn, the Lottery would pay $8 million in prizes for that sold-out number. A sold-out number has the same chance of winning as any other number.
Pick 3 drawings are held twice daily, 7 days a week. Cut-off time to buy tickets is 1:53 p.m. for day drawings and 10:45 p.m. for night drawings. Drawings are shown LIVE on this Web site. You can view them live at 1:59 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. or watch them later. Click Here to
