3 - Play Twice a Day Starting February 7
Pick 3 players will soon have twice the chance to win! Starting February 7, 2016, the Kansas Lottery will offer two Pick 3 drawings every day - a Midday drawing and an Evening drawing.
Pick 3 is a Kansas-only game. The new daily Midday Pick 3 drawing will be held at approximately 1:10 p.m. The deadline for purchasing tickets for the Midday drawing will be 12:59 p.m. The Evening drawing will continue to be held at approximately 9:10 p.m. The deadline for purchasing Evening tickets is 8:59 p.m. Both drawings will be held seven days a week, for a total of 14 Pick 3 drawings each week.
Wagers in all Pick 3 drawings will be $1 each. A 50¢ wager will no longer be available.
Players will continue to choose their type of play - "Exact Order" or "Any Order." The prize structure is identical for the Midday and Evening drawings. The top prize for matching three numbers in an Exact Order play is $500. Players who pick the Any Order option and match the three numbers drawn will win $80, or $160 if two of the three digits are identical.
Players who use Pick 3 play slips will need to use new play slips after the February 6 drawing. New Pick 3 play slips are being delivered to all Kansas Lottery retailers.
