Find out all you need to know about Pick 3 below such as its history, the prizes it offers, quick stats, and more.
Pick 3 Overview
The Pick 3 game was launched in October 1993 and it has seen several amendments along the years before reaching its current format.
One important change was made in April 2019. At that time, the Fireball feature was added, giving players more opportunities to select winning combinations and to increase their chances of winning. This feature means an extra number is randomly drawn after the main draw takes place.
The main game offers four play styles and multiple prize categories with amounts which depend on how much you choose to wager: $0.50 or $1.
The draws take place, from Monday to Saturday, as follows:
- Morning - 10:00 AM CT
- Day - 12:27 PM CT
- Evening - 6:00 PM CT
- Night - 10:12 PM CT
