Straight - To win, match all three numbers in the exact order they are drawn.
Box - You win by matching all three numbers in any order. There are two types of Box - a 3-Way has two numbers that are the same (for example 112), and a 6-Way has three different numbers (for example 123).
Pairs - For a Front Pair, select just two numbers and match the first two winning digits in the correct positions (for example 12X). A Back Pair requires you to match the the last two winning digits in the correct positions (for example X23).
