Pick 3 is one of the most popular daily games, and one of the first choices you make is how to play your numbers. Here is how the two main play types work.
Pick 3 Straight Play With Apollo AI
A straight play wins only if your three digits come up in the exact order you chose. There are 1,000 possible results, so the chance is 1 in 1,000, and the prize is the largest of the standard Pick 3 plays.
Pick 3 Box Play With Apollo AI
A box play wins if your digits come up in any order. With three different digits there are six winning orders (a 6-way box); with one repeated digit there are three (a 3-way box). You win more often, but the prize is smaller.
Using Apollo AI Sets for Either Play
The One-Tap Generator gives you three digits. You then decide at the counter whether to play them straight, box or both. Apollo AI does not change the odds of either play; it simply gives you a ready set to use.

- Choose straight if you prefer a bigger prize and are happy with longer odds.

- Always decide your spend before you choose your play type.
