How to Play Pick 3 Midday

PICK 3 drawings are held daily, seven days a week, at 12:29 p.m. and 7:29 p.m., and broadcast statewide. Saturday evening drawings occur during the Cash Explosion® Double Play television show, which airs from 7:30pm to 8:00pm.

When playing PICK 3, there are a variety of bets which can be placed:

STRAIGHT BET: If the numbers you have chosen are drawn in exact order, you win. Wager amounts are $0.50 and $1.

BOXED BET: If the numbers you have chosen are drawn in any combination, you win.

PICK 3 offers two types of boxed bets:

A 6-WAY boxed bet consists of 3 different numbers and six possible winning combinations (1, 2, 3)

A 3-WAY boxed bet has 2 numbers the same, with three possible winning combinations (1, 2, 1)

BACK-UP BET: Back-Up bets combine a Straight bet and a Boxed bet on one ticket, and must be placed in $1 increments.
