Straight - Win by matching the numbers drawn in exact order. You can wager either $0.50 or $1.
Box - Win by matching the numbers drawn in any order. A Box can be 3-Way or 6-Way depending on how many potential winning combinations your selected numbers have. You can wager either $0.50 or $1.
Straight/Box - A $0.50 Straight play and $0.50 Box play on one ticket. This play always costs $1.
Combination - Play all the possible combinations of your numbers as Straights. Costs range from $1.50 to $6.
The cut-off time for ticket sales is 12:55 PM CT for the Midday draw, and 6:55 PM for the Evening draw. Remember there is no Midday draw on a Sunday, just an Evening game.
You must be at least 18 to play Cash 3, or any other lottery game in Arkansas.
It is possible to play up to 14 consecutive Midday or Evening draws, or 28 if you play both times.
You can decide how much to wager - $0.50 or $1 – for Straight and Box wagers. You have to pay for each combination if you play a Combo, so the cost ranges from $1.50 to $6. For a Straight/Box, the cost is a fixed $1.
The results are produced via a computerized random number generator, located at the Arkansas Lottery offices in Little Rock.
Occasionally, a particular number combination might reach the AR Lottery’s liability limit (the most popular combinations are usually ‘Trebles’ such as 777). At this point, no more wagers can be sold for that number. This system is in place to ensure that all winners receive the advertised prize amount.
