Wow! Congratulations go out to all our Pick 3 players who played 2-5-2 in the Sunday afternoon Pick 3 drawing.

Those numbers delivered almost $1.4 million in prizes for lottery players. The numbers represent the area code for many eastern North Carolina residents.

In all, the drawing produced 4,977 winning tickets. A player with a fifty-cent ticket that matched all three numbers exactly won $250 and a player with a $1 ticket won $500.

Sunday’s big drawing marked the third Pick 3 drawing in the last month to provide over $1.2 million in prizes for players.

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.

You can buy Pick 3 tickets at your favorite store or on our website using the Online Play program or with the NC Lottery Official Mobile App.

Congratulations again on the big win!

How does someone get their winnings from a winning pick 3 number purchased online? Example, exact 333, played 5 draws, total winnings of $2,500 . Does the winner come to lottery headquarters for the prize money or what exactly is the process?NC Lottery
