Florida Pick 3 FAQS
Pick 3 has two daily draws. The Midday draw is held at 1:30 PM ET, and the Evening draw at 9:45 PM ET.
You can enter the Pick 3 game by purchasing a ticket from any authorized Florida Lottery retailer. As the name of the game suggests, you need to select three numbers from 0 to 9 – you can use the same number more than once. Then, you need to pick a play type and a wager amount. You can also boost your chances of getting a winning combination if you add the Fireball feature to your Pick 3 ticket.
The How to Play page has more information about the Pick 3 rules and how you can win by entering this game.
Ticket sales are cut-off 11 minutes before the draws. This means that you need to purchase your tickets for the Midday draw before 1:19 PM and the tickets for the Evening draw before 9:34 PM ET. Any tickets purchased after the cutoff will be entered into the next applicable draw.
Most play types allow you to wager $0.50 or $1 per play, with a couple of exceptions. Straight/Box plays always cost $1, and Combo plays cost anywhere from $1.50 - $6 depending on your numbers.
