Pick 3 Double Draw is back!

January 28, 2019 Posted by NC Lottery at 1:01 PM

Pick 3 players have more chances to win in February! Starting Friday, you’re going to see a lot more action during the evening drawings.

There will be two Pick 3 draw machines and a Double Draw machine that has six white balls and one red. At the start of the drawing, we’ll pick a ball from the Double Draw machine. If the Red Ball is drawn, a second Pick 3 drawing will take place immediately following the first.

And, the best part? Winners will get paid on both sets of numbers.

If a white ball is drawn, there will only be one Pick 3 drawing. We’ll then remove one white ball from the Double Draw machine for the following night’s drawing. This means the first Double Draw drawing will have six white balls, the second on the next night will have five, the third will have four, etc., until the Red Ball is drawn.

Once the Red Ball is drawn, the process starts over with all six white balls and a Red Ball included for next evening’s drawing.

There will be at least one extra drawing a week and possibly more.

Good luck!

Hey DG - I'm predicting 504,027 total entries for the Extreme 2nd chance; 9,869,276 for the Multiply the Cash and I'm sticking with my previous estimate of 4,932,491 for the Christmas 2nd chance. Good Luck!

Thx LZ. Note to pic3 players. to avoid paying taxes on a possible $1000 win during the red ball promo. Buy two 50 cent tickets instead of $1 tickets if you pick your own numbers.

I am responding to Jackie W I know exactly what you are talking about this has happened to me quite a few times how can you scan the ticket and the draw still be in progress and it tells you if you won or not. sounds fishy to me,

YAY!!! What fun. Love when Cash 3 is a doubler.We will definitely give it a couple of tries. We’ve had wins.Don’t think it can never happen to you because that’s what we thought but it true it happens out of the clear blue sky. Side note: make sure you check your spam folder we would’ve missed out on a win had we not checked our spam folder which we regularly do but we know many people that don’t. And don’t blame NCEL if it ends up in your spam folder.It’s not their fault.It has to do with the way certain emails are set up or you may have certain security settings in place but just remember to always check it Even if you have your email set up to not have certain emails go to spam sometimes a glitch will happen Check your spam folders you never know you may have that special winning email Best wishes to all :-) Play safe. Have fun. Support all the great things the education lottery does for the state of North Carolina

Why is it when the yellow screen comes up on Keno about 12 seconds before numbers are shown you can scan your ticket and it will tell you then if a winner. This seems so dishonest to me, because if this can happen I think you all can know what numbers are being played so not to put them out there. NC Lottery
You ask a great question, Jackie. Unlike our other draw games, Keno numbers are selected using a secure Random Number Generator, or "RNG". As soon as the Keno drawing has taken place with the RNG, the computer receives the numbers instantly. The display on the television receives the numbers at the same time, but it takes a short moment for the graphics to display.
