How to Play Daily 3

Leave it all up to luck and ask for a Pick 3 quick pick. You’ll get our most popular bet type, Straight-Box, with three randomly selected numbers. Your ticket will cost $1 (50 cents is bet “straight” and 50 cents is bet “box”) unless you specify a bet amount.

Or choose your own number(s), bet type and bet amount. Play slips are available at all lottery retailers. Note: play slips include the two most common bet amounts, 50 cents and $1. If you wish to bet more (up to $5), ask the sales associate to manually key in your number(s), bet type and bet amount.

There are eight different bet-types. The bet-type that you choose will appear on your ticket:
  • First Digit: Pick one number. To win, match the first number drawn.
  • Front Pair: Pick two numbers. To win, match the first two numbers drawn in the exact order.
