Pick the numbers right in Pick 3 and you could win up to $500 on a $1 straight bet. Or play Pick 4 and you could win up to $5,000 on a $1 straight bet. Best of all, you can play both games twice a day, seven days a week!

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

For as little as .50 cents, you can play your favorite number straight or boxed. Play it straight and you win if your numbers match exactly the winning numbers. Play it boxed and you win if your numbers match the winning numbers in any order. In Pick 3, you can even play two numbers as a front or back pair. If you can't decide on which numbers to play, you can have the Lottery's computer "Quick Pick" your numbers for you.

You can purchase a ticket for up to seven (7) consecutive drawings in advance. If you win during the week, you don't have to wait until the end of the week to cash in. Just go to any Lottery Retailer, cash in your winner up to $600, and pick up a replacement ticket for the remaining days.
