The weekend started off with an extra win for our Pick 3 players. Congratulations!

The Red Ball came up in our Friday night drawing, giving Pick 3 players two chances to win.

Remember—the Double Draw is guaranteed to occur once every seven days.

Be sure to check your numbers closely.

Double Draw Results:

First chance: 2-6-3. 4,435 tickets won a total of $508,081 in cash prizes.

Second chance: The Double Draw: 7-1-5. 3,517 tickets won a total of $544,982 in cash prizes.

Since the Red Ball was drawn, the Double Draw machine has been reset. Saturday night’s drawing will have six white balls and one red.

Good luck!

If the red ball was drawn do the prize amount doubleNC Lottery
Thanks for your question, Traves! If the red ball is drawn from the Double Draw machine, a second drawing takes place after the first drawing, giving Pick 3 players two chances to win. The prize structure for each draw remains the same.

@NCEL why is this red ball staying in this machine till the very end every week? This thing should have popped up multiple times by now. I also want to suggest a promotion for pick-3. Let's put 5 white balls and one red ball (double draw) and one green ball (double prize). If you really want to show the players some love. NC Lottery
Hi Angela, when the red ball comes up is just a matter of luck, although it is guaranteed to happen at least once a week. Those are some great ideas for future Pick 3 promotions! Thanks for the helpful feedback, I will pass your ideas along to the game developers. Have a great day!

We were selected in the final week of the game and just for those that are curious we only had two entries in the game and had completely forgotten about the game all together when we received that wonderful email notification :-).

NCEL what is the purpose of the Red Ball?NC Lottery
Hi Shirley, Pick 3 Double Draw is a special promotion where players receive an extra chance to win! There will be two Pick 3 draw machines and a Double Draw machine that has six white balls and one red ball. 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. If a white ball is drawn, there will only be one Pick 3 drawing. Each time the white ball is drawn, 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.

The red ball usually drops 5 times in a month. Looking forward to at least 5 but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. Thanks NCEL for the exciting the minds of your winners.

What if the red ball is drawn and the same number is drawn ex: 234 & 324. The I have just one tic for $1.00 (any) Will I win $80 or $160?NC Lottery
Hi Angelo, great question! In the case that the red ball is drawn and then the same numbers come up in both drawings, then you would win the prize for both drawings. Good luck!
