From purchasing tickets to picking your bet type or claiming prizes, you can find out more about MI Daily 3 by looking through the frequently asked questions below.
Daily 3 is the name of Michigan’s three-digit lottery, which is known as Pick 3 in many other states. You have to select three numbers from 0 to 9, and draws take place twice a day.
The Midday draw takes place at 12:59 p.m., with the Evening draw at 7:29 p.m.
Ticket sales close at 12:39 p.m. for the Midday draw, and 7:08 p.m. for the Evening draw. In both cases there is a break for two minutes, before sales resume for the next draw.
As well as picking three numbers from 0 to 9, you have to choose your wager amount and the type of bet you want. You can find a full step-by-step guide on the How to Play page.
You can play a Straight, Box, Wheel, 2-Way or 1-Off bet. A Straight is a wager on your three numbers appearing in that exact order, whereas your numbers can appear in any order if you play a Box. A 2-Way splits your wager between a Straight and a Box. If you play a Wheel, every combination of your chosen numbers is entered as separate Straight. A 1-Off bet allows you to win even if one of your numbers does not match the winning line exactly. Go to the Bet Types page to learn more about all these options.
