Attn: Pick 3 players — Double Draw is back!

August 31, 2021 Posted by NC Lottery at 4:53 PM

Our player-favorite Pick 3 Double Draw promotion is back starting this Wednesday!

Every night of the month, Pick 3 players could get two chances to win a prize.

But wait — there’s more. It’s guaranteed that at least one Double Draw will occur every seven days!

Beginning Wednesday night, you’ll see 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.

That’s why we call it Double Draw.

To sum up, when a Red Ball is drawn, it means you have two chances to win that night.

Good luck!
