(h) Pick 3 plus FIREBALL.
(1) Pick 3 plus FIREBALL is an add-on feature to the
Pick 3 base game. Adding the Pick 3 plus FIREBALL option doubles the
cost of wager and creates more possible winning combinations. For
instance, if a player purchases a Pick 3 play with an exact order
play type for $1.00, the Pick 3 plus FIREBALL play will cost an additional
$1.00. If a player purchases a Pick 3 "6-way combo" for $6, the Pick
3 plus FIREBALL play will cost an additional $6. The Pick 3 FIREBALL
number will be randomly drawn from a set of 10 numbers from 0 to 9.
The Pick 3 FIREBALL number drawn will apply exclusively to the Pick
3 base game drawing and prizes. The Pick 3 plus FIREBALL option cannot
be purchased independently of a Pick 3 play.
(2) The Pick 3 FIREBALL number is used to replace any
one of the three drawn Pick 3 winning numbers to create FIREBALL prize
winning combinations.
(3) If the player's selected numbers match any of the
FIREBALL prize winning combinations, the Pick 3 plus FIREBALL play
wins in accordance with the charts in Figures 401.307(g)(4) through
401.307(g)(9).
(4) All FIREBALL prizes are in addition to any Pick
3 base game wins. Specifically, if a player purchases the Pick 3 plus
FIREBALL option, then if the Pick 3 FIREBALL number is the same as
one of the three numbers drawn in the Pick 3 base game drawing, and
the player's numbers already match the numbers drawn for the player's
play type, the player will be awarded the FIREBALL prize in addition
to the Pick 3 prize as identified in subsection (g) of this section
(relating to the Pick 3 prize charts). For instance, assume a player
selects an exact order $1.00 base game play of 1, 2, and 3, and purchases
a Pick 3 plus FIREBALL play for an additional $1.00 (total $2.00 wager).
If the Pick 3 winning numbers drawn are 1-2-3, and the Pick 3 FIREBALL
number is 1, the play will win the base game prize of $500 and the
FIREBALL prize of $180 for a total of $680. As another example, assume
the player selects an exact order 1-2-2 for $1.00 and purchases a
Pick 3 plus FIREBALL play for an additional $1.00 (total $2.00 wager).
If the Pick 3 winning numbers drawn are 1-2-2 and the Pick 3 FIREBALL
number is 2, then the play will win the base game prize of $500 and
win the FIREBALL prize of $180 twice for a total of $860.
