Here’s a list of FAQs about the Florida Pick 3 game which may answer some of your questions. If you can’t find the answers here, you can also get in touch with our Customer Experience Team with your questions!
Pick 3 draws are held every day, seven days a week.
Pick 3 has two daily draws: a midday drawing at 1:30 pm ET and an evening drawing at 9:45 pm ET.
This can be done in just a few easy steps. Select 3 numbers between 0-9, and select your play type from four different options, at this point, you can also select if you wish to use the Fireball feature, and complete as many entries as you wish. If you don’t have your lucky numbers, you can use the ‘Quick Pick’ function and the system will randomly choose the numbers for you.
To play Pick 3 you need to choose one of the following play types:
Straight: You win if your numbers match the winning numbers and the order in which they are drawn.
Box: For the same price as “straight play”, you could win no matter the order that the numbers are drawn, but you win a smaller prize.
Straight/Box: For a slightly higher price than the Straight or Box play types if your numbers match those drawn, you will be a winner whether they came up in the same exact or any order. While this may seem like an easier-to-win mode, an exact, Straight, order win here will award a greater reward than any, Box, order win.
Combo: This is a way to play all the game types at a slightly higher price than the Straight or Box play types but if you win, you will get the same amount regardless of whether it was in the exact order or any order.
Each play type has its odds and payouts, which you can check in the table below.
Fireball is the additional number that is drawn after the main three Pick 3 numbers. When selecting to play with the Fireball feature on, you have the opportunity to replace any one of the three numbers that are drawn to try forming a winning combination. You win a prize if your numbers match any of the Fireball winning combinations. You can find more information in the table below.
