7-7-7 wins Pick 3 players more than $5 million

Wow! Congratulations go out this afternoon to all our Pick 3 players who play trips of 7-7-7.

Those numbers in this afternoon’s Pick 3 drawing delivered $5.2 million in prizes for lottery players.

In all, 12,034 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.

You can either pick your own numbers or select a Quick Pick by allowing the lottery terminal to generate a set of three numbers for them. Now you also have the choice of buying Pick 3 tickets at your favorite store or on our website using our Online Play program.

Enjoy that great win!
