Pick 3 ‘triples’ appear for the 10th time in 2012

It’s a popular question: What will the next winning Pick 3 numbers be? Ten times this year, the answer has been a “triple” number combination. When 1-1-1 was drawn Wednesday night, lucky Pick 3 players won another big payout: More than $2.5 million.

With the exception of 3-3-3, every “triple” combination 0-0-0 through 9-9-9 has appeared at least once this year, with 9-9-9 being drawn twice. Here’s a breakdown of payouts for this year’s “triples”:

(0-0-0) Daytime, May 8 - $724,000
(1-1-1) Evening, Dec. 19 - $2,530,500
(2-2-2) Daytime, Oct. 30 - $1,619,000
(4-4-4) Evening, Sep. 5 - $2,164,500
(5-5-5) Daytime, April 6 - $2,618,000
(6-6-6) Evening, May 13 - $770,000
(7-7-7) Daytime, Aug. 11 - $1,675,000
(8-8-8) Evening, Dec. 9 - $3,754,500
(9-9-9) Evening, Oct. 23 - $714,250
(9-9-9) Daytime, Sep. 15 - $1,383,000

Of the 1000 possible number combinations that could be the winning numbers in a Pick 3 drawing, ten of them are “triples.” All 1000 combinations have exactly the same chance of appearing in each drawing. To everyone who has a ticket for an upcoming drawing, we wish you the best of luck.

@ PLAYERJOANN - That's just not the way the NCEL's Carolina Pick 3 game works. Keep an eye out for a new feature coming to the game though!
