Maryland Pick 3 Lottery tickets

Maryland Pick 3 Play Types
Straight: You win if the numbers on your lottery ticket match the Maryland Pick 3 winning numbers in the exact order drawn. For example, if you enter the number 287 as straight, you'll win only if the Pick 3 winning number is 287.
The payout of a Maryland Pick 3 Straight game is $500 for a $1 game and $250 each for 50 cents game.
Box:
You win if the numbers on your lottery ticket match the winning numbers in any order drawn. For example, if you play the number 287 as box, you'll win if the Pick 3 winning number contains the three digits 2, 8, and 7 in any order, such as 872 or 728.
The payout of a Maryland Pick 3 box play depends on whether one of the digits is repeated or not.
A number such as 287, where none of the digits repeats is called a 6-way box (6 possible combinations) and the payout is $80 for a $1 game and $40 for a 50-cents game.
If one of the digits is double, like 282, then it is called a 3-way box (3 possible combinations) and the payout is $160 for a $1 game and $80 for a 50-cents game.
Front Pair: You win if the first two digits on your Pick 3 lottery ticket match the first two digits in the exact order drawn. For example, if you play the front pair 28, you'll win as long as the first two digits of the winning number are 28 in exact order. So, you'll win with 280, 281, etc.
The payout for a Maryland Pick 3 Front Pair is $50 for a $1 game and $25 for a 50-cents game.
Back Pair: You win if the last 2 digits on your lottery ticket match the last 2 digits in the exact order drawn. For example, if you play the back pair 28, you'll win as long as the last two digits of the Pick 3 winning number are 28 in exact order. So, you'll win with 028, 128, etc.
The payout for a Maryland Pick 3 Back Pair is $50 for a $1 game and $25 for a 50-cents game.
Straight/Box: This is a combination of a 50-cent Straight play and a 50-cent Box play. The payout for Maryland Pick 3 Straight/Box is $250 for the straight part and $40 or $80 for the Box part (depends on repeating digits).
For example, if you play 287 as Straight/Box, and if the winning number is 287, then you'll win $290 ($250 for the Straight part + $40 for the Box part). If the winning number is 278, you'll win only $40 for the box part since you did not match it Straight.
Combo: Enter a 3-digit number and the Combo will play all possible combinations as a Straight type. If you enter the number 427, you will win a Straight payout ($500) if 427, 247, 742, 724, 274, or 472 are drawn. The price is $6 ($1 for each). If you enter 118 (one digit doubled), you win if 118, 181 or 811 are drawn. The price is $3 ($1 for each).
Maryland Pick 3 Payouts And Odds
Note that a 6-way Box is a number with three non-identical digits, a 3-way Box has one of the digits doubled. Pairs are printed on your ticket with X representing "any", e.g. front pair 40X and back pair X09, which means that X can be any digit.
