Pick 3 Ticket

On a Pick 4 play slip mark the play type (straight, box, front pair, middle pair, back pair, or single digit), time of day desired, (DAY, EVE, or BOTH) amount of bet ($.50 TO $5.00 per bet), and select four (4) numbers (2 numbers if only playing middle pair,front pair or back pair or select 1 number for single digit play) and number of draws for each panel.

Mark the EASY PICK (EP) box at the bottom of the panel on each play to let the computer terminal randomly pick the numbers for you. You must still determine the play type, time of day desired, amount of bet and number of draws for each panel. You cannot select 4-way, 6-way, 12-way or 24-way box bets (see below) on an Easy Pick bet. Each Easy Pick will be a $.50 play for the next available draw unless another draw time, draw day or dollar amount is selected.

You may purchase a ticket for any of the next 42 draws by filling in the number of draws from the Multi Draws column and the appropriate DAY, EVE, or BOTH box on the play slip.
