Overview and History
The Maryland Pick 3 Evening game is a classic lottery game offered by the Maryland Lottery. It is part of the Pick 3 series, providing Maryland players the opportunity to win cash prizes by selecting a 3-digit combination. With simple gameplay and flexible betting options, Pick 3 Evening has been a favorite for many years. The evening draw provides a second chance for players who missed the daytime draw.
How to Play
The rules for the Pick 3 Evening game are simple, and there are several ways to win based on how you choose your numbers and the bet type you select.
1. Select Your Numbers
- Choose three digits from 0 to 9 to create a 3-digit number combination. For instance, you can pick 357 or 814.
- You can select your numbers manually, or you can opt for the Quick Pick option, which generates random numbers for you.
2. Bet Types
The Pick 3 Evening game offers a variety of bet types to suit different strategies and preferences:
Straight: Match the winning numbers in the exact order they are drawn.
- Example: If the winning number is 357, your ticket must also show 357 in that exact order.
Box: Match the winning numbers in any order. Box plays come in two types:
- 3-Way Box: Two digits are the same, and one is different (e.g., 122).
- 6-Way Box: All three digits are different (e.g., 345).
Straight/Box: This combination bet allows you to win the Straight prize if you match the numbers in exact order or win a smaller Box prize if you match the numbers in any order.
Combo: This bet type is similar to a Straight play but covers all possible combinations of the selected digits. For instance, choosing 345 would cover all its possible combinations, such as 345, 354, 435, 453, 534, and 543.
Front Pair/Back Pair: You can bet on the first two or last two digits of the winning numbers in exact order.
- Front Pair: Match the first two digits.
- Back Pair: Match the last two digits.
3. Wager Amount
You can wager either $0.50 or $1.00 per ticket, depending on how much you want to stake. The prize amounts will vary based on the bet type and the wager amount.
4. Draw Time
The Pick 3 Evening draw takes place daily at 7:56 PM (Eastern Time). Ticket sales close just before the draw at 7:52 PM. Players can also participate in the midday draw at 12:27 PM or the night draw at 11:57 PM.
