Choose three numbers from 0 to 9. You may select the same number more than once. Alternatively, mark the ‘Easy Pick’ option and your numbers will be randomly selected for you. You have the option to complete up to five panels per payslip. Remember, choosing three unique numbers has better prize odds but lower prizes for some bet types.
Daily 3 allows you to choose your wager amount. Tickets cost $0.50 for the chance to win a top prize of $250, or $1.00 to play for up to $500 in winnings.
Select from one of the ways to play (Bet Types), including Straight, Box, Wheel, 2-Way and 1-Off. More details can be found below.
Select a number in the multiple draw wagers section to play up to 60 consecutive drawings with your chosen numbers. Choose whether to play your numbers in the Midday (MID) or Evening (EVE) draw, or both.
Straight - You win if the numbers you chose match the numbers drawn in the same order. For example:
Numbers played: 213
Winning combination: 213
Box - You win if your numbers match the numbers drawn in any order. A Box bet can be a 3-Way Box or a 6-Way Box depending on how many ways your numbers can be combined:
3-Way win
Numbers played: 112
Winning combinations: 112, 211, 121
6-Way win
Numbers played: 321
Winning combinations: 321, 312, 213, 231, 123, 132
1-Off - Win if your numbers match the numbers drawn in the same order (straight) or if one of your numbers is one up or one down from the numbers drawn:
1-Off Straight win
Numbers played: 123
Winning combinations: 123
1-Off regular win
Numbers played: 321
Winning combinations: 223, 023, 133, 113, 122, 124
2-Way - There are two ways to win: 1) Straight. Your numbers match the numbers drawn in the exact same order, or 2) Box. Your numbers can match the numbers drawn in any order. 2-Ways always cost $1, which is split into two $0.50 bets (Straight and Box). Getting an exact match wins both the Straight and Box prizes together.
3-Way win
Numbers played: 112
Winning combinations: 211, 121, 122
6-Way win
Numbers played: 321
Winning combinations: 312, 213, 231, 123, 132, 321
Wheel - Match the numbers drawn in any order to win. With Wheel plays, you're eligible for the top prize of $250 or $500 rather than the regular Box prize. This type of play is more expensive, since it's the same as making Straight plays for every combination of your numbers. Multiply the value of your wager by 3 or 6 (depending on the numbers you chose) to work out the cost.
3-Way win
Numbers played: 112
Winning combinations: 112, 211, 121
6-Way win
Numbers played: 321
Winning combinations: 321, 312, 213, 231, 123, 132

No - to win, you must match all the numbers you have selected. You also have to meet the conditions of your bet type, whether that is matching the numbers exactly or in any order.
You can decide how much to wager - $0.50 or $1. The only bet type with a fixed price is the 2-Way play style, which is always $1.
The prize payouts are based on the odds of winning. If you have two numbers the same, there are three ways those numbers could be drawn – for example 112, 121, and 211. If all three numbers are different, there are six ways of winning – for example 123, 132, 213, 231, 312, and 321.
