How to Play Florida’s Pick 3
Florida’s Pick 3 is a cinch to play. Pick three (3) numbers between 0-9. Try your lucky ones or use Quick Pick on the Jackpocket app for randomly-generated numbers. To win the top prize of $500, match 3 of 3 numbers in the order they’re drawn. This is known in Pick 3 as a Straight.
When you think about how to play Pick 3 in the Florida lottery, did you know there are multiple ways to play and match your numbers?
Straight: Match numbers in the exact order drawn to win.
Box: Match numbers in any combination to win. There’s Box 3-way and Box 6-way:
Box 3-way means there are three combinations of numbers that indicate you are a winner. Let’s say the numbers drawn were 4-4-5. You could win with:
- 4-4-5
- 4-5-4
- 5-4-4
Box 6-way increases the number of possible combinations. For example, 6-7-8 are the numbers drawn. With a Box 6-way wager, you win when any of these combinations are drawn:
- 6-7-8
- 6-8-7
- 7-6-8
- 7-8-6
- 8-6-7
- 8-7-6
Straight/Box. This is a combination of Straight and Box, where you are betting on both options. This option is known as the 50/50 wager on the Jackpocket app.
Combo: Match numbers as a front pair or back pair to win.
What is FIREBALL?
Add FIREBALL to your ticket (an extra $1) for more chances to win!
The FIREBALL number is drawn following the Florida PICK 3 Daily Games drawing and can be used to replace any number drawn, giving you an extra chance to create more winning combinations. Sounds sweet, right? Adding FIREBALL doubles the price of your base play ticket and applies to all three number picks.
Pick 3 Prizes & Odds
Players who match all 3 of the winning numbers drawn in the official PICK 3 drawing for the date played can win up to $500, depending on the play type and the amount played.
