How to Play

To play, choose three one-digit numbers from 0-9, or select Quick Pick to have them chosen for you at random.

Next, choose one of the four play styles:

  • Exact Order: If your chosen numbers match the winning numbers in the exact order they are drawn, you win!
  • Any Order: If your chosen numbers match the winning numbers in any order, you win!
  • Exact/Any: For a small extra cost you can play both Exact Order and Any Order. If your chosen numbers match the winning numbers in Exact Order or in Any Order, you win!
  • Combo: An easy way to play all possible Exact Order combinations on one ticket.

If you'd like to play your selected numbers for up to 24 draws in a row, select one of the Multi-Draw boxes.

You can also play only a certain draw time - simply check the box for either Morning, Day, Evening, or Night, and the number of draws you wish to participate in.

Fireball

The Fireball option may be added to your main game ticket for more ways to win. After each Pick 3 draw, one Fireball number from 0 to 9 is drawn. Use the number to replace any of the Pick 3 numbers drawn in order to make a winning match.

To add Fireball, simply mark "Yes" in the box on your playslip. Fireball doubles the cost of your Pick 3 play.

Prizes and Odds

Here's a breakdown of the numbers needed to win a Pick 3 prize plus the odds of winning. Your chosen play style determines how your numbers can match the numbers drawn to make a winning combination:

Fireball Prizes and Odds of Winning

Check the following table for all the prize values and odds of winning if you added the Fireball option to your Pick 3 play. The Lottery draws a Fireball number just after each Pick 3 draw. Use the Fireball number to replace any Pick 3 number drawn for extra ways to win. Fireball doubles your Pick 3 ticket cost, as shown in the prices below - for example, a $0.50 base play becomes a $1 play with Fireball.

The three Fireball Examples columns on the right - Your Numbers, Pick 3 Numbers Drawn, and Fireball Number Drawn - are simply to demonstrate how Fireball can potentially help you make a winning set.
