How to Play

Each play costs $2 and has 3 lines of numbers. For each play, mark 6 numbers (1 – 39) on your play slip, or use the quick pick option to let the computer randomly select your numbers. With each play you will receive your single line of selected or Quick Pick numbers and two additional lines, each with six Quick Pick numbers.

To play the same numbers for the next 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 16 consecutive drawings, mark the appropriate box in the “Number of Draws” section. Your ticket will be valid for the draw dates shown on the front of the ticket. The total cost will be the wager amount multiplied by the number of drawings you choose to play.

Mark play slip with pencil or blue/black ink only. If you make a mistake, DO NOT ERASE.  Mark the “VOID” box for that play area or board if errors are made. Present the completed play slip to any 3 Line Lotto retailer and receive a ticket. It is your responsibility to make sure the ticket represents the numbers selected, and drawing(s) you want to enter.
