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 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.
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.
