1. A Pick 3 play slip may be obtained at any South Carolina Education Lottery online retailer.  ONLY use a pencil or a pen with blue or black ink to fill out a play slip.  Red ink will NOT be accepted.  Do NOT make stray marks on the play slip as the lottery terminal may read the marks as numbers or play options.  DO NOT ERASE a mistake in your number selections.  Instead, mark the "VOID" box at the bottom of the play area and move on to the next play area.
2. There are five different play areas on a single play slip, marked "PLAY A" through "PLAY E."  Each play area represents a DIFFERENT Pick 3 play.  All selected numbers for a single play should be in the same play area.  Players may purchase up to five plays per play slip.
   

3. Mark a three-digit number from 000 to 999.  Make a heavy vertical mark in the appropriate boxes in each play area.  Or, to have any or all of your plays selected at random by the lottery terminal, mark the “QUICK PICK” box at the bottom of the play area.
4. Select the play amount of either 50˘ or $1. This option is available for straight or box play ONLY and will default to $1 if not marked otherwise. Combo tickets range in price: a 3-way combo is $1.50 or $3 and a 6‑way combo is $3 or $6.
5. Mark the play TYPE. IF NO TYPE IS SPECIFIED, THE TYPE WILL DEFAULT TO A STRAIGHT PLAY.

Check your play slip carefully before purchasing your tickets. It is your responsibility to make sure the ticket represents the numbers you selected and the drawing you want to enter.
