1

Choose three digits

Select one digit from 0 to 9 for each of the three positions. Zero can appear first, and the same digit can appear more than once.

2

Select the play type

Straight requires the exact digit order. Mix covers qualifying arrangements of the selected digits, while Back-Up combines the options described in the current official game rules.

3

Choose a draw and wager

Check the selected draw time and wager on the printed ticket. Pick 3 has five scheduled draws each day in Jamaica.

4

Read every position

A result such as 089 must be read as zero, eight, nine. It is not the number eighty-nine, and the leading zero must not be removed when comparing a ticket.
