Choose From Multiple Ways to Play

Each option offers different ways to match and win

STRAIGHT

Choose three single-digit numbers from 0 to 9 in the order that you think they will be drawn by the Lottery. Match the three numbers drawn by the Lottery EXACTLY to win.

BOX

Choose three single-digit numbers from 0 to 9. Match the three numbers drawn by the Lottery in ANY ORDER to win.

STRAIGHT/BOX

Choose three single-digit numbers from 0 to 9. Your ticket will have both a STRAIGHT wager (match the three numbers drawn exactly) and a BOX wager (match the three numbers drawn in any order). You can win on BOTH wagers!

PAIRS

Choose two single-digit numbers from 0 to 9 in the order that you think they will be drawn by the Lottery. You can play the FRONT pair (first two of three numbers), the BACK pair (last two of three numbers) or the SPLIT pair (first and last of three numbers).
Match those two numbers to the numbers drawn by the Lottery EXACTLY to win.

COMBO

Choose three single-digit numbers to play all possible number combinations automatically on one ticket. Match any one of those combinations to the numbers drawn by the Lottery in ANY ORDER to win.

Play3 FAQs

Quick answers to help you play with confidence.

The Wild Ball is an extra feature you can add to your Play3 ticket to increase your chances of winning a prize. Adding the Wild Ball feature doubles the cost of your wager. After each Play3 drawing, a Wild Ball number (0-9) is randomly drawn. If you added the Wild Ball feature to your ticket, this number can be used to replace one of the winning numbers drawn by the Lottery, creating more winning combinations for you. (Reminder: The Wild Ball number doesn't replace a number on your ticket; instead, it replaces one of the Play3 winning numbers drawn by the Lottery.)

Example 1
Your Play3 (Straight) numbers: 1-2-8
Winning Play3 numbers: 1-2-3 & Wild Ball number: 8
Winning Play3 numbers with Wild Ball number combinations: 8-2-3, 1-8-3, 1-2-8
In this example, you won! Your Play3 numbers (1-2-8) did not match the winning numbers drawn (1-2-3) but the Wild Ball number 8 created a winning combination of 1-2-8 that matched the numbers printed on your ticket.

Example 2
Your Play3 (Straight) numbers: 1-2-8
Winning Play3number: 1-2-3 & Wild Ball number: 4
Winning Play3 numbers with Wild Ball number combinations: 4-2-3, 1-4-3, 1-2-4

In this example, you did not win. Your Play3 numbers (1-2-8) did not match the winning numbers drawn (1-2-3) and the Wild Ball number 4 did not create a winning combination that matched the numbers printed on your ticket.
