Daily 3 Odds and Prizes
Daily 3 gives you the chance to win up to $500, but the amount you can receive depends on your bet type and how much you wagered. Find out more about Daily 3 odds and prizes.
To win a prize, you have to match the numbers that are drawn according to the conditions of the relevant play type - Straight, Box, Wheel, 2-Way and 1-Off. You get the top prize of $500, for example, by playing a $1 Straight and matching all three numbers in exact order.
All the prize amounts are fixed and are directly in proportion to the odds of winning. A Box bet, for example, is easier to win than a Straight as you can match the numbers in any order, but the payout is lower.
The following table shows the odds of winning for each bet type and the prize you can win, both for a $0.50 wager and a $1 wager. If you play a Wheel, keep in mind that the total cost of playing would be between $1.50 and $6.

|---|---|---|---|
| Straight | 1 in 1,000 | $250 | $500 |
