3-3-3 delivers $4.9 million in prizes to Pick 3 players

February 9, 2022 Posted by NC Lottery at 4:05 PM

Wow. The numbers 3-3-3 just delivered a fun afternoon to all our Pick 3 players who play trips of 3-3-3.

The second big Pick 3 win of 2022 occurred in Wednesday afternoon’s drawing when those numbers came up for a $4.9 million win for lottery players.

In all, 12,406 winning tickets matched all three numbers. A player with a fifty-cent ticket won $250 and a player with a $1 ticket won $500.

The odds of matching all three numbers in a Pick 3 drawing are 1 in a 1000. You can learn more about Pick 3, one of our most popular games, here.

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.

Congrat to all those Pick 3 winners. Enjoy the rest of the afternoon.

Millionaire Maker question. When you guys first released the game you said it was 10.4 million tickets printed with 360,000 total books. I play the game at times and the other day I bought a few and the book number was 360,063. I thought it stopped at 360,000?NC Lottery
Hi there, Matt! Millionaire Maker has been re-ordered, so this book you purchased could just be a part of the new re-order. Our website should be updated soon to reflect that re-order. Hope this helps!

Congratulations!!!! We know the feeling (888/999). So thrilled that triples came out for those that pay this number. :-)
