How to Play Pick 3
$0.50Daily3 × [0–9] + 1 × [0–9]
Overview
Pick 3 Plus FIREBALL is South Carolina’s three-digit numbers game. Choose three digits from 000–999 and a play type (Straight, Box, Straight/Box, Combo, Front Pair, or Back Pair) for 50¢ or $1. A $1 Straight pays $500 (1 in 1,000). Drawings are twice a day — Midday at 12:59 p.m. ET (Monday–Saturday) and Evening at 6:59 p.m. ET (every day). FIREBALL is an optional add-on that doubles the cost.
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. Select 1 bonus number
Choose 1 bonus number from 0 to 9. This ball is drawn separately from the main numbers.
3. Choose Straight, Box, Combo, or Pair
Straight must match in the exact order drawn. Box wins in any order (3-way or 6-way depending on repeated digits). Combo buys every order as Straight plays. Front Pair or Back Pair matches two digits in position.
4. Add FIREBALL (optional)
A FIREBALL number from 0–9 is drawn after each Midday and Evening draw. It can replace any one of the three drawn digits to create extra winning combinations. Adding FIREBALL doubles the cost of your play.
5. 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.
