pick 3 is drawn every day during a live broadcast immediately following the pick 2 drawings. it is played the same way as pick 2, except three ball machines are used. anyone who matches the three numbers (in any order, or only in order, depending on how exactly the numbers are played; picks 2, 3, 4, and 5 offer several different options when playing) in exact order wins $500 on a $1 wager. more recently, more ways to play involving multiple-number tickets were introduced. on august 23, 2010, florida added a 1-off selection to the game. this gives the player 26 extra combinations of his/her number in which the digits are 1 up or 1 down. if the number matched exactly, one would win just $250 instead of $500 for a $1 play and $125 instead of $250 for a 50-cent play. if one of the 1-off numbers drew, one would win $10 on $1 plays and $5 on 50-cent plays. see the lottery website for further details. this game was formerly named cash 3 until august 1, 2016.
