How the Daily 3 Works

So what game has the best odds? Generally, the Daily 3 game offers the best odds since you only have to pick three numbers, and there are multiple ticket types that you can buy to increase those odds even further. But let me explain that.

The way that Daily 3 games work is that you have to pick three numbers, in order, from a pool that does not get smaller. That means that you can pick 1 more than once for example. The winning numbers could be 5-5-5, whereas in some of the bigger games, once 5 is drawn, it can no longer be picked again. This system means that your odds of winning a straight ticket are 1 in 1000, which looks like a sure thing next to some of the 1 in 150 million games.
