Here are all the different prizes you can win in Pick 3. The amount you can win depends entirely on the play type you select and your play amount.
The top prize is $500, if you match all three numbers in exact order and stake $1. There are a variety of other payouts up for grabs too, if you prefer a play type which offers better odds of winning.
Go to the How to Play page to find out more about how each play type works, or visit the Fireball section to learn about how this optional feature can boost your odds of winning. The table below shows the prize values and odds for each play type, whether you add Fireball or not.
