Congratulations go out this morning to all our Pick 3 players who play trips of 2-2-2.

Those numbers in Sunday night’s Pick 3 drawing delivered over $5.9 million in prizes for lottery players. That’s a nice way to start the week.

In all, 14,002 winning tickets matched all three numbers. A player with a fifty-cent ticket won $250 and a player with a $1 ticket won $500.

Trips are combinations of three of the same numbers. They 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.

You can buy Pick 3 tickets at your favorite store or on our website using the Online Play program.

Congratulations again on the big win!

Odds are 1-1,000 but you only win 500, so it is for suckers only. Even if you win you 1/2 way lose. Suckers with ignorance we are for allowing these state lottery to drain the less fortunate on bogus fortunes
