How to Play Daily 3 Midday

Playing is easy. To learn how, follow the 5 simple steps.

STEP 1
Using a Lottery playslip, which you can find at any Lottery retailer, pick 3 numbers between 0 and 9. You can also select Quick Pick®, or just ask the cashier for a Daily 3 Quick Pick, and the random number generator will choose the numbers for you.

STEP 2
Pick your playstyle:

  • Straight: Match the winning numbers in the same order.
  • Box: Match the winning numbers in any order.
  • Straight/Box: Match the winning numbers in exact order and win ½ the Straight prize and ½ the Box prize, or match the winning numbers in any order and win ½ the Box prize only.
To play the same numbers for consecutive draws, just mark Advance Play.

Advance Play allows you to play multiple draws with one purchase.

You can play the same numbers and playstyle for 1-7 or 14 consecutive draws on one playslip by marking the Advance Play box.

Because Daily 3 has two draws per day, playing 14 consecutive draws will result in 7 days of Play.

STEP 3
Pay $1 per play for each Daily 3 ticket. Your ticket is your receipt.

STEP 4
Know the draw times. Daily 3 draws take place twice a day, after the draw entry closes at 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
