Double Draw pays off for Pick 3 players

March 8, 2024 Posted by NC Lottery at 8:15 AM

Congratulations to our Pick 3 players who won prizes in Thursday night’s Pick 3 drawings.

The Yellow Ball came up for the first time during this month’s Double Draw promotion, giving Pick 3 players two chances to win.

Be sure to check your numbers closely.

Double Draw Results:

First chance: 6-6-3 with Fireball of 6. 1,209 tickets won a total of $202,949 in prizes.
Second chance: The Double Draw: 6-8-1 with Fireball of 3. 2,506 tickets won a total of $220,613 in prizes.

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

The Double Draw is guaranteed to occur once every seven days. Could the Yellow Ball get drawn two nights in a row?

Good luck.

Facts still remain the same, NC is a repeat state! No other states repeat as much as NC do lol! I get it, NCEL is in the business of making money, but it’s also in the business of letting players win! Payouts when it comes to draw games are low and very far in between big payouts. How long as Keno been out and only had what 1 or 2 big payouts!?!? Y’all stop promos in the middle of the promotions. I’m not the only one that notice it and not the only one that’s saying something about it. NC is a repeat state lol

NCEL has too many repeats for 1 in 1000 percentage. Let trips repeat 3 or 4 times then the players might believe it. The same old story.

Repeat, Repeat, Repeat smh. NCEL starting to become a joke lol. They say it’s the same odds of each combination no matter the popularity, but the trips and quads don’t come out the same way other repeaters do lol. Yea okNC Lottery
Hi, Kimberly! Each drawing is an independent event, which means past draw results have no bearing on the results of a future draw. A specific combination could have been drawn yesterday, a month ago, or never, and the odds of it being drawn in the next drawing would still be the exact same!

I agree with Mike J. I wish there was some way to scan scratch off wins to in the app. I usually play with my scratch off wins and that would be great and save a trip to the store. It is so easy to play online.

Hi, Abiva! For Friday's Pick 4 evening draw, the numbers drawn were 4-6-9-2 with Fireball 3. You can see all of the possible winning combinations for that drawing on the draw payout page, under the "Past Draws" tab, here: https://nclottery.com/Pick4-Draw?dn=10199.

Not pertaining to this,but is the NCEL considering being able to scan scratch off wins into the app so you can use winnings to play digital games ??NC Lottery
Hi, Mike! We've heard from a lot of our players that this is something they're interested in seeing, and while we don't have any set plans, we hope to be able to offer this feature for our players in the future. The future is full of possibilities!

Those numbers were terrible and no one plays them as you can tell by only $200k being paid out on both combined! Most pick 3 draws pay out over $200k on just one draw so very much a dud waiting a week to get those lousy numbers.NC Lottery
Hi, William! Each combination, regardless of popularity, has the same odds of being randomly drawn in each Pick 3 drawing - 1 in 1,000. Past drawing results have no bearing on future draws, so the same number could have come out yesterday, a month ago, or never, and the odds would still be the same that it would be drawn in the next drawing. In last night's Double Draw, 3,715 winners took home $423,562 in prizes - the Double Draw winners and prize payouts are listed separately under the first draw results: https://nclottery.com/pick3-payout?dn=12033.
