8-8-8 wins Pick 3 players win over $3 million

March 19, 2023 Posted by NC Lottery at 4:05 PM

Congratulations go out this afternoon to all our Pick 3 players who play trips of 8-8-8.

The numbers in this afternoon’s Carolina Pick 3 drawing added up to a $3 million win for lottery players.

In all, 7,329 winning tickets matched all three numbers. A player with a fifty-cent ticket won $250 and a player with a $1 ticket won $500.

Combinations of three of the same numbers, known as “trips”, are some of the most popular sets of numbers played. Whatever three numbers you pick, the odds of matching exactly all three in a Pick 3 drawing are the same: 1 in 1,000.

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.

Another repeated number 368, which came out on the 18th 683 in the evening lol! NC is a stingy state! The other states is where the money at. I sure wish I could play online in other states, cause the numbers I play here coming out like water.

When’s the Carolina jackpot 2nd chance gonna happen NC Lottery
Hi Damian, Second-chance drawings are meant to last the lifetime of the game, so as more top prizes are claimed, a draw date will be determined. We’ll be sure to let our players know as soon as the date is set!

Philip, you are pretty smart. The lottery makes $2.5 million a day. The least pick three players are on Sunday. The triple six came out almost Sunday night and the triple eight came out on Sunday day. People know. It’s not random at all. Sunday is the least playes day. You’re definitely on to something

I agree Shirley B. Let’s see if they repeat the trip 8s like they do every other number, doubt it lol. See they finally started back throwing trips, but haven’t threw a quad since November 2021. NC is one stingy state!

NCEL 777 should have come out. Let's see if 888 will come back since you like to do repeats.
