Pick 3 was introduced to Colorado in April 2013, this lottery game has grown and become a household name all over the Centennial State.
Pick 3 draws are held twice a day, seven days a week.
Pick 3 has two daily draws at approximately 1:30 pm and 7:30 pm.
To play Pick 3 you need to do a few easy steps. First of all, select 3 numbers between 0-9, they can be separate or duplicated. Then select your play type from three different options and your bet amount, and complete as many entries as you wish. In case you don’t have your lucky numbers, you can use the ‘Quick Pick’ function and the system will randomly choose the numbers for you.
Yes! You can purchase Pick 3 tickets online through the Jackpot.com website or app.
To play Pick 3 you need to choose one of the following play types:
Exact Order - You win if your numbers match the winning numbers and the order in which they are drawn.
Any Order - For the same price as the Exact order, you could win no matter the order in which the numbers are drawn but you win a smaller prize.
Exact Order + Any Order - For a slightly higher price than the Exact or Any order game types if your numbers match those drawn, you will be a winner whether they came up in the same Exact or Any order. While this may seem like an easier to win mode, an “exact order” win here will award a greater reward than an “any order” win.
Each play type has its own odds and payouts, which you can check in the table below.
