  hi, since pick3 has 50% of prize pool, how winnings calculated on $2,$5, $10 bet?

  for example last draw

  003

  Straight 38 winners $534.60

  Box 218 winners $178.60

  thats based on $1 bet?

   

  its not clear explanations on ticket or website.

  who was lucky winner on $2-10? please clarify.

  thank you, prtt

  You can just multiply the prize by the wager.

  So if the prize of $534.60 is based on a wager of $1 (like you can see here) then for a $2 wager, you can simply double the prize, meaning it would be worth $1,069.20.

  If you wagered $1 but placed a bet on straight + box, that means a $0.50 bet on straight and a $0.50 bet on box, so the payout would be different than that.  The $534.60 prize is based on $1 wagered on straight.

  hi, thank you for reply.

  thats what i thought initially too. make sense in any other lottery, like pick2 or pick4 where fixed price payout (limited of liability maximum, of course).

  but they said 50% of pool going to payout. so if i play $1, i contribute $1 to pool, if i play $10 i contribute $10, and if i win on $10 payout will be 10x of prize? still not convinced...
