CASH 3 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Playing Cash 3

Q: Where is Cash 3 played?
A: While many states have games similar to Cash 3, the Arkansas Cash 3 game is only played in the state of Arkansas.

Q: How and where are the numbers drawn?
A: Cash 3 numbers are drawn using computerized random number generators at the Lottery offices in Little Rock.

Q: Can any of my numbers be the same?
A: Yes. You can select any combination of three numbers from 0-9, any of which can be the same.

Q: Can a number be sold out?
A: Each possible number combination has a liability (potential total payout) limit per draw. When the liability limit for a combination of numbers is reached, the selection of that combination will be closed for that draw. No wager will be allowed by the terminal that would cause the liability for that number to exceed the liability limit. The liability limit may be modified at the sole discretion of OAL.

Q: What is the difference between Straight and Box?
A: If you select a Straight play, the numbers drawn must match your selected numbers in the exact order. A Box play means the numbers drawn can match your selected numbers in any order. Straight carries higher prizes than Box because there is only one way to win Straight and several ways to win Box.

Q: What is the difference between Box and Combo?
A: With a Box play, the numbers drawn can match your selected numbers in any order. A Box prize is less than a Straight prize played with the same wager amount because there are more ways to win with Box. In a Combo play, you are purchasing every Straight combination possible. This results in a higher ticket price and a potential prize equal to what the Straight prize would be at that wager amount. For example, selecting a $1 wager amount and Combo Play with the numbers 123 would create a ticket costing $6 ($1 for each of the 6 combinations of the numbers 123) and a potential prize of $500, the same prize as a $1 Straight play.

Q: How do I select 3-Way or 6-Way Box?
A: 3-Way or 6-Way is determined automatically based on the numbers you select. 3-Way refers to a number combination with 3 ways to win (ex. 122 has 3 ways to win Box: 122, 212, 221). 6-Way refers to a set of numbers with 6 ways to win (ex. 123 has 6 ways to win Box: 123, 132, 213, 231, 312, 321).

Q: I lost my ticket. Can I claim a prize with a playslip or store receipt?
A: Cash 3 prizes can only be claimed with a ticket printed from the lottery terminal. Playslips or store receipts will not constitute proof of purchase.
