How to Play
To play, simply choose three numbers from 0 through 9. Choose your own digits or mark Quick Pick (QP) on your playslip and the lottery computer will generate a random set for you.
You can choose to wager either $0.50 or $1.00 - if you don't select an amount, the play will automatically be $1.00.
You can play up to five times per playslip; each area marked Play A through E is a separate play.
Play the same numbers for up to 14 draws in a row with Multi Draws. That can be either up to 14 Midday or Evening draws, or up to 28 draws for both times - simply mark the Number of Draws box on your playslip.
Select DAY to play the next Midday draw, EVE to play the next Evening draw, or BOTH to enter the next two draws. If no draw time is selected, the ticket will be for the next draw.
Choose the day of the week you want your play to start, if not the next draw; if not marked, the ticket will be for the next draw.
Pick your play style to determine how your numbers can make a winning match with the numbers drawn by the lottery. If no selection is made, the ticket will default to Straight play. Here are the available play types:
- Straight: Win by matching the numbers drawn in exact order.
- Box: Win by matching the numbers drawn in any order. Box can be 3-Way or 6-Way depending on how many potential winning combinations your selected numbers have.
- Straight/Box: A $0.50 Straight play and $0.50 Box play on one ticket.
- Combo: Play all the possible Straight combinations of your numbers.
