The Wild Ball is a feature of Play3 that helps to create more winning combinations. It is not a part of the base game, so you will need to add it to your ticket to be able to take advantage of the potential benefits. Find out more about how the Wild Ball works.
The Wild Ball itself is an additional number from 0 to 9. One is randomly selected as part of every draw, so the Play3 results will always include three main winning numbers, followed by the Wild Ball. It is selected in the same way as the main numbers, so it is possible for the Wild Ball to be the same as one or more of the winning digits.
As the name suggests, it serves as a wildcard. This means it can be used to replace any of the three winning numbers.
To add the Wild Ball to your Play3 ticket, it is as simple as selecting the option on your playslip or telling the retailer you want it to be included. The total cost of your wager will be doubled, but it gives you additional chances to win.
The Wild Ball effectively gives you another number to play with, and could reward you with a prize if you just miss out in the base game. Here are a couple of examples:
The Wild Ball can also give you multiple wins in the same draw, whether you have already won a prize in the base game or not.
