NCEL - “Carolina Pick 3” Players Win Big on Triple 5s!

RALEIGH - The North Carolina Education Lottery (NCEL) will pay out more than double what it took in on sales for the midday Carolina Pick 3 game with a “triples” hit. The triple 5s on today’s midday Carolina Pick 3 drawing produced a payout total of $468,000. Sales for this afternoon’s drawing reached $201,861. The highest payout on Carolina Pick 3 triples in NCEL history was $1,365,750 for the evening drawing on Dec. 16, 2007 when the numbers 7-7-7 were drawn.

“This is the sixth time there has been trips (triple numbers) on Carolina Pick 3,” said Pamela Walker, NCEL spokesperson. “Carolina Pick 3 players seem to get really excited when trips hit. Out of all the number combinations triple numbers are normally the most played.”

Here is the history of triple numbers for the NCEL:
