'Trips' appear in back-to-back Pick 3 drawings

Between the Pick 3 drawing held Tuesday evening and the next one held Wednesday afternoon, players won a combined total of more than $2.7 million in prizes.

First the combination 0-0-0 came up, leading to 3,585 winning tickets splitting
$1,244,360 in prizes. Less than 24 hours later, 9-9-9 paid out $1,459,730 more on 4,002 winning tickets.

We're asked often about the chances of a particular number being drawn in a particular drawing, and the answer is always the same: The odds never change. Because each drawing is a separate, random event, there's always a 1 in 1,000 chance of every Pick 3 combination being the winning numbers.

Don't forget that for the entire month of March - thanks to the
Pick 3 Double Draw Promotion
- there is a chance every night Pick 3 players will get another chance to win.

Whatever numbers you like to play, we wish you luck in the next drawing.

Will the Pick 3 and Pick 4 games ever be sold online? NC Lottery
Ever is a long time. But the lottery has no plans at the moment to add Pick 3 and Pick 4 to subscription service.

After filing your taxes (NC Lottry) they must've told you that you need to pay out more $ at the beginning of the year. Lol
