Iowa Pick 3 (Evening) Payouts & Prizes

How Iowa Pick 3 (Evening) prizes work

Straight pays when your 3 digits match the draw in exact order. Box pays when they match in any order — a box with all different digits has more ways to win, so it pays less than one with a repeated digit. Straight/Box splits your wager across both. Combo covers every straight ordering at once. Pairs pay when the first two (Front), or last two (Back) digits match in position.

Amounts are for a single play at the wager shown. Always verify a win with the official lottery before claiming.
