902.2Lucky Numbers is a daily three-digit game in which the player may wager fifty cents (50¢) or one dollar ($ 1) on any one of the following bet types:

 

(a) Straight: A wager whereby a winning result is achieved only when the three (3) digit number specified by the player matches in exact order with the official winning number drawn by the Agency for that drawing event;

(b) Six-Way Combination: A wager whereby a winning result is achieved when any combination of three (3) different digits specified by the player matches the official winning number drawn by the Agency for that drawing event. This is the equivalent of six (6) straight wagers on a single ticket at six (6) times the base cost;

 

For example, if the winning number is "123" then any combination bet placed on "123," (i.e. "132,", "231," "213," "321," or "312") will be a winner of a straight bet.

 

(c) Three-Way Combination: A wager whereby a winning result is achieved when any combination of three (3) digits (with any two (2) of the three (3) digits being the same) specified by the player matches the official winning number drawn by the Agency for that drawing event.

(d) Straight/Six-Way Box (on one ticket): A wager whereby the player can place a straight bet and a six-way box bet for the same number on a single ticket. The player can win on both the straight and box bets when the three (3) digits specified by the player match in exact order the official winning number drawn by the Agency for that drawing event.

Wagers are limited to fifty cents (50¢) on the straight and fifty cents (50¢) on the box portion for a total of one dollar ($1) per ticket;

 

For example, if the winning number is "123," then only the bets placed on "123" in that exact order will be winners on both portions of the ticket. However, boxed bets placed on "132" (i.e., "231," "213," "321," or "312") will be winners in the box portion only.

Wagers are limited to fifty cents (50¢) on the straight portion and fifty cents (50¢) on the box portion for a total of one dollar ($1) per ticket;

 

For example, if the winning number is "311," then only bets placed on "311" in that exact order will be winners on both portions of the ticket. However, bets placed on "113" or "131" will be winners in the box portion only.

(g) Three-Way Box: A wager whereby a winning result is achieved when any combination of three digits (with any two (2) of the three (3) digits being the same) specified by the player matches the official winning number drawn by the Agency for that drawing event.
