There is also a Wheel entry, for a ticket with every possible combination of the four player-chosen numbers.

Participants can also wager on matching the first three or final three numbers drawn.

Daily 3

Daily 3 is a Pick 3 game in which players can stake $0.50, $1.00, $2.00, $5.00 or $10.

Players must choose three numbers between 0 and 9, and because each number is chosen independently, it is possible to choose the same number two or three times if desired. Having chosen these numbers, participants then bet on matching all three numbers in the order drawn, in any order, or whether to split their stake equally between both options.

Players can also go for a Wheel entry, for every possible combination of the three chosen numbers.

It is also possible to choose just two numbers and match them in exact order as the first or second pairs of numbers drawn.
