Daily 3 Odds and Prizes
Each Daily 3 play type has its own prize and odds of winning. There is no set amount for the prizes as they differ in every draw. This is because, in the Golden State, prize amounts are calculated on a pari-mutuel basis, meaning that they depend on the number of winners and the number of tickets sold.
These amounts can vary significantly, but a Straight prize might be worth around $500 and a Box payout might be around $100.
So how much did the winners get in the most recent draws? On the Numbers page, you can find more information about the latest Daily 3 draws.
