FAQ/Pick 3 Basics

How much do you win on Pick 3? Payouts for every bet type.

NY Pick 3 payouts on a $1 play: Straight pays $500. 6-way box (all distinct digits) pays $80. 3-way box (one pair of matching digits) pays $160. Straight/Box pays $290 + $40 if exact match, or $40 if any order match.

For $0.50 plays, all payouts are halved.

Straight pays the most because it requires the hardest match — exact order. Box pays less but covers any arrangement of your three digits. If all three digits are distinct you have 6 possible arrangements. If two digits are the same you have 3 arrangements with a higher payout.

Combo automatically plays all straight arrangements of your digits on one ticket. Three distinct digits = 6 straight plays = $6 cost, $500 payout if any arrangement hits.
