Pick 3 is a favorite draw game from the Maryland Lottery featuring a top prize of $500. Draws twice every day and a choice of bet types and wager amounts equals more ways to win.
The Maryland Lottery was started back in January 1973 after the approval of a constitutional amendment to begin a government-run lottery. Since then, its core mission has been to generate revenue to support important state causes, such as education, public safety, public health, and the environment, which they've done successfully: Maryland has brought in $16.7 billion in revenue for the state.

Pick 3 is drawn twice a day, seven days a week, so there are plenty of chances to win.

The Evening draw is held Monday through Saturday at 7:56 pm, while on Sunday it's at 8:22 pm.
How to Play
Grab your playslip and choose three digits from 0 through 9 (for example, 123 or 112). On one of the playslip's panels, mark each number with a vertical stroke. Each panel is one play, and you can play up to five times per playslip. To have the computer randomly choose your numbers, mark 'Quick Pick.'
There are multiple bet types to choose from. Scroll down to the next section for more details on each one.
Decide on your wager amount for each play. You have a choice of a 50¢ or $1.00 play for all bet types except:
- Combo Wager: 25¢, 50¢ or $1.00 per play. A Combo wager is the same as 4, 5, 12, or 24 Straight wagers.
- Straight/Box Bets: You must mark the 50¢ wager on the playslip. Your total ticket cost will be $1.00 (50¢ each for Straight and Box).
The total ticket cost equals the amount you bet on each playslip panel you're playing, times the number of draws you're playing.
You can play your lucky numbers for up to seven draws in a row. Mark the 'Number of Draws' section on the playslip and whether you want to play Midday, Evening, or Both. One ticket will be printed regardless of how many draws you select.
Mark 'Advance Play' if you'd like to play your chosen numbers for one or more future draws (excluding today). Simply mark the day you want to start playing, then select how many draws you want to play in 'Number of Draws.' The 'Number of Draws' may be up to six days from the date of purchase. Next, choose your draws: Midday, Evening, or Both. If you win before all your plays have completed, you will be issued an exchange ticket for the remaining draws.
