Numbers
If you are playing a Pick 3 choose numbers from 000 between 999, for Pick 4 opt for numbers from 0000 between 9999 and if you want to play Pick 5 select numbers from 00000 through 99999.
Choose to play your numbers straight or boxed. "Straight" means that your selected ticket numbers must match the winning numbers in exact order.
- The payout for a Pick 3 straight ticket is 900 to 1.
- The payout for a Pick 4 straight ticket is 9,000 to 1.
- And the payout for a Pick 5 straight ticket is 90000 to 1.
"Boxed" means your numbers can match the winning ticket in any order. This gives you more chances of winning, but your payout is less. A boxed payout is calculated by dividing the straight payout by the number of chances you have with your boxed numbers.
Examples:
Boxed
If you play Pick 3 numbers 1-2-3, you have 6
different chances of winning and your payout
would be as follows: 900/6 = 150 to 1 |
Straight
If you play Pick 3 numbers 1-1-1, you still only have 1 chance of winning and your payout would be as follows: 900/1 = 900 to 1 |

Place Wager
Select the amount you wish to wager per drawing per day. Select the day you wish to start your tickets (based on Off Time, some tickets may start on the next drawing day). Many days can be selected if you want to play your numbers for those dates. You can select one or several days, up to 30 days in advance. The cost of your tickets is calculated this way:
Examples:
Amount of wager x number of drawings x number of days
A $1.00 number in 3 drawings for 2 days would be $1.00 x 3 x 2 = $6.00 |
If you select a drawing that is not played on Sundays, the ticket will be for the next day
Playing a Pick 3 number using the AZ drawing, starting on a Saturday and running for three days, would get you tickets onSaturday, Monday, and Tuesday |
Drawings
Select the drawings in which the winning numbers will be used. You may check off as many drawings as you would like to play.
Off times are shown in Eastern Standard Time and are 15 minutes prior to the drawing. If you select a drawing for today whose Off Time has passed, you will be purchasing a ticket for the next drawing. This will be reflected in the "Confirmation" window and the "My Tickets" window.
Only the initial drawing is valid for grading purposes. Follow up promotions, additional draws, or subsequent added numbers after the initial drawings will not count towards Lotto grading.
