How to Bet on Pick 3
To place a bet on Pick 3, choose three numbers between 0 and 9. You also have to select your bet type – Straight, Box, Straight/Box, Pair or Combo.
For a Straight, the objective is to match your numbers with the three winning ones in the exact same order they are drawn. As each winning number is pulled from a separate pool of 0 to 9 you can have repeating numbers in your combination.
A Box bet requires you to match the three numbers in any order. If you opt for a Straight/Box, you are betting on your numbers appearing in the exact order and any order. You win both parts of the bet if you get the order right, or just the Box prize if the winning numbers are in a different order. A Combo bet is one on each of the Straight combinations within your three-digit number set.
You can also select a Pairs bet, where the aim is to match just the front two numbers or the back two numbers.
Cost of Entry
Straight, Box and Pairs bets cost either €0.50 or €1 each – it is up to you how much you bet. The price for a Combo ranges from €1.50 to €6 – this depends on whether you want to wager €0.50 or €1 per entry, and whether you have picked a 3-way selection or a 6-way.
A 3-way selection is one in which you pick two numbers that are the same and one that is different. There are only three possible combinations of those numbers. For example, if you pick 0, 0 and 7, they may come up as 007, 070 or 700. A 6-way combination uses three unique numbers, for example 2, 4 and 6.
Once you’ve picked your numbers you can choose whether to enter just one draw or subscribe to future ones on a rolling basis. The benefit of this is that you don’t need to remember to place your bet for every draw – your numbers will be entered automatically for the duration of the subscription.
Remember that there are two draws per day – at 1pm and 6pm – so you need to match the numbers on the specific date and time you entered. If you just purchase a bet on an afternoon Pick 3 draw, for example, your numbers are not eligible for the evening draw or night draw on the same day.

These prizes are fixed amounts, so they stay the same in every twice-daily draw. If it happens that there are no winners in a particular draw the prize money does not roll over and increase in value for the following draw. You do, however, get paid the stated amounts regardless of how many winners there are in the same draw – the prize money is not shared.
As Pick 3 is an online-only game your prize money will be paid into your online player account shortly after the win has been validated. You will receive an email notification to say that you have won so just log in to your account and you will see the prize money reflected in your balance.
