Pick 3 players win over $3.5 million on 7-7-7

August 17, 2025 Posted by NC Lottery at 8:45 AM

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

Those numbers in Saturday night’s Pick 3 drawing delivered over $3.5 million in prizes for lottery players.

In all, 8,803 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.

Now you also have the choice of buying Pick 3 tickets at your favorite store or on our website using the Online Play program.

Congratulations again on the big win!

We all know that NCEL was not setup for education only. It was the main point to get it started. My complaint is we all know that these numbers ARE NOT randomly select. It just would make sense to stop holding numbers you know people are waiting for. You all are making your money so let the people when sometimes. Dropping a quad 1 time very 3-4 years is crazy. Dropping trips with fb all the time is ridiculous. However, we are not forced to play so I guess we shouldn’t complain. I will suggest people travel to VA or SC to play because they will play numbers so you can win. You just have to stay on it. Va dropped 4 trips in the same week and have already played 2 quads. Last year, SC played 4444 three times. Nc has played-nevermind. Have a great day everyone.

I’m hurt because I tried to play 777 but online it didn’t allow me to play that so I had to change my number but still had 77. I didn’t get anything for two out of three right!!

Brain T what are you talking about? You make no sense. The lotto is a gane of chance. Those who think they "let" certain numbers come out are misled. It is just entertainment for me. Yes i hope i win but it is a game of chance.

To beat it all, everyone knows you have crews going around claiming that money for in house. Please, you folks should be ashamed of the destruction you cause to society in the name of the school system. Using the sake of children as a profitability springboard is one of the worst deceptions.

Lol, NCEL is on PR campaign from all the dirt they've done. And it's on 777, how iconic! You folks really have no shame. And at the end of it all, no matter how much you think you fool the public, you can't run from the things you've done. It all comes back to you. Good luck to us all
