How Pick3 Payouts Work: Pools, Tiers, and Rollovers
Pick3 payouts are designed around one clear idea: every draw has a real pool, and winners share that pool based on how closely their ordered ticket matches the final result.
Where the prize pool comes from
Each ticket adds its stake to the draw total for its game tier. When the draw closes, the system separates house revenue from the prize pool, then adds any jackpot carryover that belongs to that game.
Bronze, Silver, and Gold each keep their own draw pool.
Ticket sales increase the pool for the selected game only.
Carryover jackpot money stays tied to the same game tier until it is won.
The two winning tiers
Tier 1 is for an exact ordered match across all three positions. Tier 2 is for exactly two numbers matching in the correct positions. Because position matters, 20-3-30 is different from 3-20-30.
The top tier receives the largest share of the prize pool. The second tier receives the remaining prize allocation for players who matched two positions.
How winners split the pool
If more than one ticket wins the same tier, that tier pool is split equally between those winning tickets. This keeps the payout fair: one winner takes the tier amount alone, while multiple winners share it.
What happens when nobody wins Tier 1
If there is no exact ordered match, the Tier 1 amount rolls into the next jackpot for that same game. That is how the jackpot can grow across draw days.
If someone wins Tier 1, the jackpot for that game is paid out and resets for the next cycle.
The short version
Buy a ticket, keep the order intentional, and remember that every winning tier is shared if multiple tickets qualify. Exact ordered matches chase the biggest prize, while two-position matches still give players a way to win from the same draw.
