How to Play Play3 with Wild Ball

Play3 offers chances to win prizes from $14 up to $2,500 every day and night! Twice a day the Lottery draws three numbers that you can try to match. If you match them, you win.

Play3 is played in $.50 increments, beginning at $.50 up to $5.00 per wager. Adding the Wild Ball feature DOUBLES the cost of your wager.
CLICK HERE for some Play3 with Wild Ball prize payout examples.
You can select the numbers that you want to play by filling out a playslip. Or ask for a Play3 Day or Night "Quick Pick" to let the Lottery terminal randomly pick your numbers for you.

There are several different ways to wager in Play3
- STRAIGHT: Choose three single-digit numbers from 0 to 9 in the order that you think they will be drawn by the Lottery. Match the three numbers drawn by the Lottery EXACTLY to win.
- BOX: Choose three single-digit numbers from 0 to 9 that you think will be drawn by the Lottery. Match the three numbers drawn by the Lottery in ANY ORDER to win.
- STRAIGHT/BOX: Choose three single-digit numbers from 0 to 9 that you think will be drawn by the Lottery. Your ticket will have both a STRAIGHT wager (match the three numbers drawn exactly) and a BOX wager (match the three numbers drawn in any order). You can win on BOTH wagers! Straight/Box wagers are only played in even dollar amounts.
- PAIRS: Choose two single-digit numbers from 0 to 9 in the order that you think they will be drawn by the Lottery. You can play the FRONT pair (first two of three numbers), the BACK pair (last two of three numbers) or the SPLIT pair (first and last of three numbers). Match those two numbers to the numbers drawn by the Lottery EXACTLY to win.
- COMBO: Choose three single-digit numbers from 0 to 9. Your ticket will automatically play those numbers in all possible number combinations, all on one ticket. Match one of the combinations to the three numbers drawn by the Lottery EXACTLY to win. Combo wagers are only played in $0.50 and $1.00 amounts.
Play3 tickets can be voided when printed by a Retailer's Lottery terminal. Play3 tickets cannot be voided when printed by a Lottery Vending Machine. Once printed from a Lottery Vending Machine, there is no way to cancel them.
ADVANCE ACTION: Buy tickets for future Play3 drawings with the ADVANCE ACTION option. Play up to 7 consecutive drawings in advance.
REPLAY: To play your numbers again, hand the Lottery Retailer your existing Play3 ticket and ask for a REPLAY. You will get a new Play3 ticket with the same numbers and wager amount. Your new ticket will have the REPLAY “R” printed on it. (NOTE: REPLAY is NOT available on Advance Day tickets.)

Add Wild Ball

Wild Ball is an add-on feature that gives you more ways to win!
One Wild Ball Number (0-9) will be drawn after the Play3 number is drawn. A separate Wild Ball number will be drawn for Play4.
The Wild Ball does not replace a number on your ticket. It replaces one of the numbers drawn by the Lottery.
Wild Ball doubles the cost of your wager and can only be added at time of purchase.

PLAY3 FAQs

The Wild Ball is an extra feature you can add to your Play3 ticket to increase your chances of winning a prize. Adding the Wild Ball feature doubles the cost of your wager. After each Play3 drawing, a Wild Ball number (0-9) is randomly drawn. If you added the Wild Ball feature to your ticket, this number can be used to replace one of the winning numbers drawn by the Lottery, creating more winning combinations for you. (Reminder: The Wild Ball number doesn't replace a number on your ticket; instead, it replaces one of the Play3 winning numbers drawn by the Lottery.)

Example 1
Your Play3 (Straight) numbers: 1-2-8
Winning Play3 numbers: 1-2-3 & Wild Ball number: 8
Winning Play3 numbers with Wild Ball number combinations: 8-2-3, 1-8-3, 1-2-8
In this example, you won! Your Play3 numbers (1-2-8) did not match the winning numbers drawn (1-2-3) but the Wild Ball number 8 created a winning combination of 1-2-8 that matched the numbers printed on your ticket.

Example 2
Your Play3 (Straight) numbers: 1-2-8
Winning Play3number: 1-2-3 & Wild Ball number: 4
Winning Play3 numbers with Wild Ball number combinations: 4-2-3, 1-4-3, 1-2-4

In this example, you did not win. Your Play3 numbers (1-2-8) did not match the winning numbers drawn (1-2-3) and the Wild Ball number 4 did not create a winning combination that matched the numbers printed on your ticket.

To win a FRONT, SPLIT or BACK PAIR wager, the player picks only two numbers (at the time of purchase) to match two of the three winning numbers drawn - in exact order. When a Pair wager is made, an X will print on your ticket in the position where no number match is required for a prize win.

Pair Wager Examples
FRONT: 1-2-X
SPLIT: 1-X-2
BACK: X-1-2

When a "Combo" wager is purchased, the Lottery terminal automatically plays your three digits STRAIGHT in all possible number combinations, all on one ticket.

Combo Wager Examples
6-Way Combo: 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 2-3-1, 3-1-2, 3-2-1, 2-1-3, 1-3-2
3-Way Combo: 1-2-2, 2-1-2, 2-2-1

The Lottery cannot pay out more than $7,950,000 (the liability threshold) for a specific number combination in a single drawing. If the liability threshold is met, the Lottery limits sales of that number combination for that drawing.
