Deciding your Play Type is an important part of Pick 3, and one of the reasons this game is so popular! The Play Type you choose sets the conditions for how your numbers win the prize. Your options are Straight, Box, Straight/Box, Combo and Pair – Discover how each Play Types works here.
There are 5 panels, A - E, on the Pick 3 playslip, and each panel represents a different play/ticket. In each panel, there are three columns of numbers. In at least one panel, mark one number from each column - you can use the same number multiple times. Alternatively, mark the QP (Quick Pick) box on the panel to have your numbers randomly selected by the lottery terminal.
You choose to place a wager of either 50 cents or $1 on your ticket. However, the $0.50 wager is unavailable for Straight/Box plays. The cost of a Combo play ranges from $1.50 for a 3-Way $0.50 wager, up to $6 for a 6-Way $1 wager.
On your playslip, mark MID for the Midday draw at 1:30 PM, EVE for the Evening draw at 9:45 PM, or BOTH for both draws (you'll receive two separate tickets, one for each draw). If you don't mark a draw time, the terminal will print a ticket for the next available draw.
Make your play muy caliente (very hot) with the Fireball, a Pick 3 add-on that gives you more chances to score a prize. Fireball doubles the cost of your ticket(s) and applies to all panels on your playslip. After the main Pick 3 numbers are selected, a Fireball number, also from 0 to 9 is drawn - use it to replace any main number for more ways to make winning combinations. Win on the base game, with the Fireball, or both!
Straight - Match in exact order
Box - Match in any order
Straight/Box - Match in exact OR any order. Cost: $1
Combo - All Straight combinations of a 3-digit number. Cost: $1.50 to $6 depending on numbers chosen.

There are two Florida Pick 3 drawings every day, held at 1:30 PM and 9:45 PM (ET)!

The price of a ticket will depend on how much you wagered - either $0.50 or $1. Adding the Fireball option will double your ticket cost.
The Fireball gives you an extra chance to win! It is an extra number from 0 to 9 selected at random alongside the main draw. You can substitute any of the main Pick 3 numbers with the Fireball number to create winning combinations!
