How to Play Pick 3™

Play Pick 3 Twice A Day! Pick 3 is a twice daily game offering a 50-cent play, twelve drawings a week (six Day and six Night drawings) and a top prize of $500 (on a $1 play.)

It's easy to play. Just pick three single-digit numbers from "0" to "9", choose how you want to play them, the number of drawings you want to play and the time of day you want to play. Pick 3 drawings are held twice daily at 12:27 p.m. and 10:12 p.m. Central Time. Pick 3, 2 Times A Day, 2 Times The Fun!

How to Play

First, pick three single-digit numbers from "0" to "9" or mark the QP (Quick Pick) box and your numbers will be selected for you.

Second, select how you want to play your three single-digit numbers (Exact Order, Any Order, Exact/Any Order, Combo).

(NOTE: Number combinations shown are for example only.)

• Exact Order - You win if your numbers match the winning numbers in the exact order they are drawn.
• Any Order - You win if your numbers match the winning numbers in any order.
• Exact/Any - For a little extra money you can play both Exact Order and Any Order. You win if you match the winning numbers in Exact Order or in Any Order.
• Combo - Simply a convenient way to play all possible Exact Order combinations on one ticket.

Third, choose the number of drawings you want to play. You can play up to:

• 12 consecutive Day drawings only;
• 12 consecutive Night drawings only; or
• 12 consecutive Day and Night drawings

Mark the appropriate box under "Multi Draw." This will play your numbers for the number of drawings you select.

Fourth, choose the time of day you want to play. Mark the "DAY" box to play day drawing(s) only. Mark the "NIGHT" box to play night drawing(s) only. If you want to play consecutive Day and Night drawings, use the Multi Draw feature and leave the "DAY" and "NIGHT" boxes blank. Multi Draw selections are consecutive from the draw selected.

Fifth, SUM IT UP™  For as little as 50 cents extra per play, Sum It Up provides another way to win if the sum of your Pick 3 numbers is the same as the sum of the three single-digit numbers drawn in the applicable drawing. For example, if you play the Sum It Up feature and your Pick 3 numbers are 1-2-3, then the sum of your numbers is 6. If the sum of the three numbers drawn also equals 6 (whether they match your numbers or not), then you win! 

You do not have to win the Pick 3 game to win the Sum It Up feature.  Sum It Up can be played with any of the Pick 3 play types.
