Launched back in 1988 as the Florida Lottery’s very first draw game, Pick 3 continues to create winners and raise money for education. There are two draws every day, and a top prize of $500.
All you need to do to win a Pick 3 prize is match three numbers from 0 to 9, and you can choose between various play types. You can even choose how much you want to pay per play, starting from just $0.50.
Fireball is another option if you want to increase your chances of winning. Use FL.Pick-3.com to learn all about the game and view previous numbers.
There’s a Pick 3 drawing at 1:30 p.m. every day - known as the Midday game, and an Evening draw at 9:45 p.m. Go to the Numbers page to view the latest results.
The game was originally known as Cash 3 when it began in the Sunshine State, with draws once a day in the evening.
It is not uncommon for triplet numbers (three of the same) to be drawn, and these usually create huge payouts as they are popular selections. When 7-7-7 was drawn in December 2006, there were more than 18,000 winners, and more than $4.5 million was paid out in total.
A second daily draw was added in May 2008, and the game was rebranded as Pick 3 in August 2016. Draws take place at the Florida Lottery studio in Tallahassee.
