Bet Types
Find out more about the different types of bet that are available on Pick 3.
Straight
This is a bet where you try to predict the winning numbers precisely in the right order. It is known as a Straight because it is a simple bet on one particular outcome. To win a Straight bet, your three chosen numbers must match the winning numbers exactly, with each digit in the same position. You can choose to wager $0.50 or $1 per bet.
You can choose any combination of three numbers from 0 to 9. The odds stay the same whichever combination you play:
Combination | Example |
---|---|
Three of the same number | 111 |
Three different numbers | 456 |
Two of the same and one different | 778 |
Box
With a Box bet, you pick three numbers which you predict will be selected in the next draw. The order you position those numbers in does not matter – you just need all three of them to be selected to win a prize. It is called a Box because you are effectively boxing up your selections – as long as those numbers appear in any order, you win. The cost of entry is up to you - $0.50 or $1 per bet.
Box bets can be split into two categories – 3-way and 6-way – depending on the combination of numbers you pick:
Box | Combination | Example |
---|---|---|
3-way | Two of the same number and one different | 445 |
6-way | Three different numbers | 890 |
Straight/Box
Playing a Straight/Box gives you the chance to win by matching your numbers in the order you have selected, or in any order. When you place this type of bet, half of your stake is wagered as a Straight and the other half as a Box.
If your numbers come up exactly as you predicted, you win both parts of the bet. If they are selected in any other order, you win just the Box prize. The following table provides examples of whether you would win or not with a certain selection:
Numbers Picked | Winning Numbers Drawn | Bets Won |
---|---|---|
123 | 123 | Straight and Box bets won |
123 | 213 | Box bet won |
123 | 725 | None |
Combo
This type of bet combines all the possible Straight bets within your three selected numbers. You can choose whether to bet $0.50 or $1 per combination, and the total cost depends on whether you have chosen a 3-way selection or a 6-way:
Combo | Cost of Entry |
---|---|
3-way | $1.50 or $3 |
6-way | $3 or $6 |
Pairs
To place a Pairs bet, you only need to select two numbers rather than three. You need to state whether you are trying to predict the first two numbers out of the three (front pair) or the last two (back pair). You need to match them exactly to win. You can choose whether to bet $0.50 or $1.
