Pick 3 is a popular WI draw game with two draws a day, lots of ways to play and a top prize that’s worth 500 times your wager amount.

Select a three-digit number from 000 through 999. Choose your own – one digit from each row – or get a Quick Pick and the numbers will be randomly generated for you.
Decide whether to play the Midday draw, the Evening draw, or both. You can play either time up to seven drawings in a row, or 14 consecutive drawings if you play both.
Decide how you’re going to play your numbers – Straight, Box, or Straight/Box. More details can be found in the Play Types section.
You can wager $0.50 per play for Straight or Box. The more you put down, the more you can win. If you play a Straight/Box, the cost is a fixed $1.
Straight To win, match three numbers in the exact order they are drawn.
Box To win, match three numbers in any order. Box play has two options. For a 3-Way, two digits selected must be the same (for example 112). For a 6-Way, choose three different digits (for example 123).
Straight/Box Match three numbers in exact order OR any order to win. You win both parts of the prize if the numbers are drawn in exact order, or just the Box prize if they appear in a different order.
You have to be at least 18 to play Pick 3, or any other lottery game, in Wisconsin.
No. You always need to match all three numbers – it just depends whether you are trying to match them in order or not.
The claim deadline is 180 days from the relevant draw date.
