United States · Various US state lotteries
The classic three-digit daily numbers game run by nearly every US state lottery (Numbers in New York, Pick 3 in Texas, Cash 3 elsewhere), usually drawn twice a day. A straight play must match all three digits in exact order — 1 in 1,000 — and typically pays $500 on a $1 ticket; box plays cover every ordering of your digits for lower prizes.
