How to Play Pick 3

$0.50Daily3 × [09] + 1 × [0–9]

Overview

Pick 3 is Virginia’s three-digit daily numbers game. Pick three digits from 000–999 and a play type (Exact Order, Any Order, 50/50, Combo, or Pairs). Wagers are 50¢ or $1 — Exact Order pays $500 on a $1 play (1 in 1,000). Day draws at 1:59 p.m. ET and Night at 11 p.m. ET. FIREBALL is an optional add-on that doubles the cost.

How to play — step by step

  1. 1. Select 3 numbers

    Choose 3 numbers from 0 to 9, or mark Quick Pick and let the terminal choose.

  2. 2. Select 1 bonus number

    Choose 1 bonus number from 0 to 9. This ball is drawn separately from the main numbers.

  3. 3. Choose Exact Order, Any Order, or Pair

    Exact Order must match in the same sequence. Any Order wins in any sequence (3-way or 6-way depending on repeated digits). Front, Split, or Back Pair matches two digits in order.

  4. 4. Add FIREBALL (optional)

    FIREBALL draws one digit from 0–9 after each Day and Night draw. Substituting it for one drawn digit creates extra winning combinations. Adding FIREBALL doubles the cost of your play(s).

  5. 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.
