Pick 3 players can double the fun with Double Draw

The best month of the year for Pick 3 players arrives Saturday with the return of Double Draw. This promotion gives you extra chances to win playing your favorite game.

Every night in November, Pick 3 players will get two chances to win a prize if the Yellow Ball gets drawn.

At least one Double Draw is guaranteed to occur every week. But there could be lots more Double Draws if the Yellow Ball keeps popping up. The last Double Draw promotion saw six different Yellow Balls pop up. Will we see more this time?

At the start of the drawing, we’ll pick a ball from the Double Draw machine. If the Yellow Ball is drawn, a second Pick 3 drawing will take place immediately following the first. Prizes will be paid on both sets of numbers drawn.

That’s why we call it Double Draw.

If a White Ball is drawn, the next evening’s drawing will take place with one fewer White Ball until a Yellow Ball is drawn.

Good luck to all you Pick 3 players out there!

I dont know where to complain about one of your digital games but I played it a lot today the Big O Bucks and lots of time I would win a little money on a spin and it didn't credit to my winnings. It would hang up and then tell me to refresh or go to the lobby or just sign me off saying I had been idle too long. I wasn't ever idle on the game. An auditor needs to monitor your digital instant games because a lot of time I am cheated out of money or it does funny things like shut off.NC Lottery
