Pick 3 – South Carolina Lottery
How to Play the South Carolina Pick 3 Lottery
The South Carolina Lottery’s Pick 3 game takes place twice a day on middays and evenings. Each draw has a fixed jackpot of $500. However, your maximum possible prize depends on your chosen playstyle and your bet value.
To play, you must pick a number from 000 to 999. You then choose a playstyle and bet value, as well as a draw schedule (midday, evening, or both). You win the jackpot when your combination matches the winning draw numbers in exact order.
You can choose from the following playstyles:
- Straight: You must match the winning numbers in the exact order.
- Box: You can match the winning numbers in any order.
- Straight & Box: You can match the winning numbers in any order or in exact order.
- Combo: You get to play Straight bets for all possible combinations of your chosen numbers, boosting your chance of winning.
- Front Pair/Back Pair: You select 2 numbers (instead of 3). These must match the first 2 or the last 2 winning numbers in exact order.
