$0.50Daily3 × [0–9]
Overview
Maryland Pick 3 is a three-digit daily numbers game (000–999). Choose Straight, Box, Straight & Box, Front Pair, Back Pair, or Combo. Wager 50¢ or $1 per panel. Drawings are twice daily — midday and evening — seven days a week. Maryland Pick 3 has no FIREBALL or bonus ball.
How to play — step by step
1. Select 3 numbers
Choose 3 numbers from 0 to 9, or mark Quick Pick and let the terminal choose.
2. Choose a bet type
Straight must match in exact order. Box wins in any order (3-way or 6-way). Straight & Box splits a $1 ticket into 50¢ Straight and 50¢ Box. Front Pair or Back Pair matches two digits in order.
3. Choose how many drawings
Pay $0.50 per play (add-ons cost extra). Tell the retailer how many consecutive drawings you want, or mark Advance Play on the slip.
