Daily 3 is a fast-paced Hoosier Lottery game with drawings twice a day for prizes of up to $500, with wagers starting at just $0.50. There are so many ways to play and win on this game, and you can even add the Superball feature for even more chances to take home a prize. The Midday drawing takes place every day at 1:20 PM ET, followed by an Evening draw at 11:00 PM ET.
The table below has a breakdown of the prizes you could win plus the odds of taking them home for each play types in both the base Daily 3 game and if you added the Superball feature. The prize amounts shown are based on a $1 play.
Superball is a powerful add-on that gives you extra chances to match the winning numbers and score a payout. A single Superball number is drawn just before the Daily 3 draw - after ticket sales close but before the main game draw. Use the Superball number to replace one of the Hoosier Lottery's numbers and you could make a winning match with your numbers. You can win a main Daily 3 prize, a Superball prize, or even both simultaneously on a single ticket.
Superball doubles the cost of your base play - for example, a $0.50 wager becomes $1. To add Superball, mark 'Yes' in the Superball section of your playslip. Superball is not available on a 1-Off wager.

What sets Daily 3 apart from other lotteries is the opportunity to decide how you want to play. Choose your play type from the options on the playslip.
Simply choose three numbers from 0 to 9. Your playslip has five panels, each of which is a separate play. To play even faster, check the Quick Pick (QP) box and the lottery computer will randomly generate the three digits.
Daily 3 doesn’t have one fixed price – instead, you can choose between $0.50, $1, $2, $5, or $10 per wager. The more you put down, the more you can win.
Select your draw time - Midday, Evening, or both. Mark a number in the Multi-Draw area to play your chosen numbers with the same play type for up 28 drawings in a row.
The Superball feature gives you an even better chance to win (details in the Superball section). To add Superball to your play (at double the cost), just mark the option on your playslip.
Play your way with Daily 3's extensive selection of play styles that determine how your numbers can make a winning match with the numbers drawn. Here's a rundown of all the options:
Straight - Your numbers must match the numbers drawn in exact order.
Box - Your numbers can match the numbers drawn in any order.
1-Off - Your numbers can be one higher or one lower than the numbers drawn. For example, if you play 123 and the numbers drawn are 234, you would still win.
Combo - Your numbers can match the numbers drawn in exact order (Straight) or any order (Box). The minimum cost for a Combo is $1.
Wheel - Every possible Straight play of your numbers. The ticket cost depends on the wager amount and number of combinations.
Pairs - Match the first two numbers drawn in exact order (Front Pair), or the last two numbers drawn in exact order *Back Pair).
Ticket sales close at 1:20 PM ET for the Midday drawing, and 10:39 PM ET for the Evening draw.
The minimum age to play any Hoosier Lottery game is 18.
If all three of your numbers are different (for example 123), there are six ways that they can be arranged (123, 132, 213, 231, 312, 321). If two of your three numbers are the same (for example 445), there are only three ways they can be arranged (445, 454, 544). This makes a difference to your odds of winning for certain play types, and also to the prize you can win.
