Play3 offers a host of prizes, ranging from $25 to $2,500. The amount you can win depends on a couple of factors - the way you play and the amount you wager.
To win, you have to match the winning numbers in line with the conditions of the play type you have selected. For example, if you play a Straight, the winning numbers must be drawn in exactly the same order as they are printed on your ticket.
Straight plays offer the biggest prizes - worth 500x your wager amount – whereas the other methods of entry offer better odds of winning.
The following payout table shows all the different amounts you can win, along with the odds for each type of wager.
