Trips hit in back-to-back Pick 3 drawings, winning players $3.4 million with 5-5-5

The numbers 5-5-5 in Wednesday afternoon’s Carolina Pick 3 drawing added up to a $3.4 million win for lottery players, and produced 8,646 winning tickets that matched all three numbers.

Trips hit in back-to-back drawings, coming after 1-1-1 was drawn Tuesday night.

The winning numbers are known as “trips” among players of the Pick 3 game. Trips are some of the most popular combination of numbers played. The odds of matching all three numbers in exact order in a Pick 3 drawing are 1 in 1,000.

This is the third time trips have hit in the Pick 3 game this month.

Winners have 180 days to claim their prizes.

Drawings in the Carolina Pick 3 game are held twice a day, at 3 p.m. and at 11:22 p.m. Players can either pick their own numbers or select a Quick Pick by allowing the lottery terminal to generate a set of three numbers for them.

Ticket sales from draw games like Pick 3 help to raise more than $725 million a year for education programs in North Carolina. For details on how lottery funds have made a difference in North Carolina, click on the “Impact” section of the lottery’s website.

All good Sheila. You know me, and by now you should know most of my comments are tongue in cheek and meant to make one chuckle. Good luck and PLAY SMART.

@Denver G. Get a life. This is a blog and we are allowed to say what we want. There's always one person....but I get you...smh and lol.

ROTFLMAO. You guys crack me up. How dare they make you wait to buy your lottery tickets while they buy theirs. The nerve! They must think their lottery purchase is more important then yours. And what are they thinking spending more money then you assume they can afford. If that ever happens again, just boogie on down the road and buy your tickets else where. That'll teach them. TGIF!!!!

@SHEILA I, that kind of playing is actually foolish. I know they think that they're increasing their chances of winning and in a sense they are, but they're also spending large amounts of money to do so. Some time ago when I had extra money, I often spent over $50 per drawing! I won fairly often but it wasn't always $290 or $500. Sometimes it was $40 and I spent over $50! See what I mean? But next thing you know, you're broke and struggling to even cover one drawing, one ticket each! In hindsight I shouldn't have spent that much but my $50 is nothing compared to these $300 spenders. I wonder how much they really win.

@Tim M. I agree. A customer service person at Harris Teeter printed out over $300 worth of pick 3 and 4 for a customer/friend while. He wasn't in the store at that time but mysteriously appeared once his tickets were done. She held up the for him. Unbelievable!

I need to keep playing pick 3. I play sometimes.

Played this the same draw that I won on 111. Missed the deadline for this draw but wasn't going with this anyway. My bad. Anyway, as for the frequent requests for Pick 3 and 4 to be available online, could the reason it's NOT offered be due to all the mega, mega buying that players do like in the stores? A few weeks ago, one Saturday, I had to wait for them to finish with this old man's tickets while he took a seat. I heard the clerk tell him it was $280! Which he played in cash. Not the first time I've had to wait on someone but it's usually not that much. Are you concerned that's what you will have to deal with online, especially when there will be numerous players doing this?
