Pick 3 players ‘seeing triple’ for second time in a month

September 6, 2012 Posted by NC Lottery at 12:36 PM

For the second time in less than four weeks, Pick 3 players have seen another “triple” number combination lead to a big prizes. In the evening drawing on Wednesday, Sept. 5, players won $2,164,500 in prizes when 4-4-4 appeared.

Back on Aug. 11, “triple 7’s” resulted in $1,675,000 in prizes. Of the 1000 possible number combinations that could be the winning numbers in a Pick 3 drawing, ten of them are “trips.”

Congratulations to the winners and best of luck to everyone in the next drawing!

@ SWEETSTUFF - There is a 1 in 100 chance of a "triple" coming up for Pick 3, and a 1 in 1000 chance of a "quad" appearing for Pick 4. Just a matter of luck. We encourage people to play games of chance for fun; if you don't enjoy them then we respect your choice not to play

trip don't fall that often wonder why.n.c. is full of u know what. and they very rarely quads fall like i every 6 to 12 months.gambling is a racket making poor people poorer and rich people richer cause they keep thier monies in the bank. and scratch offs r a joke, but not a funny one.

I was disappointed that I missed the 444. A guy in the store told me that trip 444's were gonna come and I played that night but they didn't come. So 6 days later they come out. I should have kept them in. Maybe the next time lol

i played 111 way back when pick3 first started. I won,but that was back when there was only one drawing per day. Now I don't play as much maybe once or twice per month if I feel lucky.

I did when I hit on the trip 7's,, but even though I felt trips would hit again Wednesday night,,, Alas my wires were crossed and I played 111 and 333,,, If I'd added them together I'd had the 444 huh?? Was off to the side of the track instead of on it this time. Interesting thing on the 777 draw, My wife had bought lunch for her and a little boy she was baby sitting on day before and her total was $7.77. The cashier said that amount had come up a lot that day,,, so she suggested we play it. We did on Friday, no luck so ONE more time on Saturday and BAM!!! Just wish we'd bought about 15 or 20 tickets instead of the 6 we did get!! LOL
