Double Draw delivers more than $1.4 million in prizes

August 21, 2022 Posted by NC Lottery at 9:07 AM

Saturday night’s Double Draw in the Pick 3 drawing delivered more than $1.4 million in prizes.

Together, the two drawings produced 6,753 winning tickets with prizes totaling $1,460,082.?

A Double Draw occurred for the 7th time this month as part of a promotion that will continue each night the rest of the month.

Any night the Yellow Ball is drawing, two Pick 3 drawings are held. That gives Pick 3 players two chances to win prizes.

Be sure to check your numbers closely since you have two sets of winning numbers.

Double Draw Results:

First chance: 7-2-6. 1,574 tickets won $244,323 in cash prizes.
Second chance: The Double Draw: 1-2-1. 5,179 tickets won $1,215,759 in cash prizes.

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

The Double Draw is guaranteed to happen at least once a week. Will it happen again on Sunday night?

Good luck.

Aug. 23 more repeats come on NCEL this is not random at all. Back to back numbers two days in a row and yet there are some numbers that has not been played in years. RIGGED!NC Lottery
Hi, Angela! We love it when popular numbers are drawn and players win lots of money because it makes players happy. However, we have strict rules in place to ensure that every set of numbers, regardless of popularity, has exactly the same chance of being drawn in every drawing. Our drawings are independent events, meaning the results of previous drawings have no bearing on the results of future drawings. That combination could have been drawn yesterday, last year, or never, and the odds of it being drawn again today would still be 1 in 1,000. We hope your favorite number hits soon!

NCEL 877 977 There has to be another 7 in that machine. NCEL has blocked them for mo the now. They are way overdue!!!!I might not get them but maybe some players who have invested a lot of money in them will!!!!!

Ok so we shouldn’t hold our breath for any trips anytime soon. The big question is if “the balls are so random, how did 4466 & 114 repeat within days????” I say every single player in NC skip playing for an entire day and see how they like it! NCEL Y’all need to do better!

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE GAME.NC Lottery
Hey there, Herbert! Pick 3 asks players to create a 3-digit number combination of numbers 0-9 and depending on what numbers are drawn and how you choose to play, you can win big by matching those numbers! Double Draw is a promotion we're running throughout the month of August that means a second evening drawing will happen if a yellow ball is drawn from the Double Draw machine - this means double the chances to win! You can read more about Pick 3 and how to play here: https://nclottery.com/Pick3. Hope this helps!

I know that this question will probably never get answered. How much does the NCEL take in per pick 3 and pick 4 day and night drawings?NC Lottery
Hey there, Willie! We are here to help, but we don't have those numbers on-hand. For specific questions like this, we recommend submitting a public information request to player.info@lotterync.net and someone will work to find the info you are looking for!

Hey NC lottery. I have a question about Aug 18 evening draw. The website shows a yellow ball was drawn. However, the draw number shows a white ball was drawn. I'm confused and do not want to discard any possible winning tickets that I may have. Which is correct, the white or yellow ball for Aug 18?NC Lottery
Hi, Shonathan! A white ball was drawn on Thursday, August 18th. We had a yellow ball drawn yesterday, 8/20, and the one before that was drawn on 8/15. Where are you seeing the yellow ball drawn on 8/18? We can make a note to our team to fix it! And you can always check past draw results on our website here: https://nclottery.com/pick3-past-draws. On days with Double Draws, this page will show two Evening draws under the same date. Hope this helps!
