The Evening draw is the second of the two North Carolina Pick 3 draws each day, and its Fireball digit is drawn separately, straight after the three main digits. Tonight's North Carolina Pick 3 number is this Evening result.
The Evening card keeps last night's digits until the next 11:22 PM ET draw has been checked, and then switches to the new number with its Fireball. Every Evening number of the past month is listed in the 30-day table below, next to the Daytime number of the same date.

ThreeFour is independent and not affiliated with any state lottery. Always verify your numbers with the North Carolina Education Lottery before claiming a prize.
Enter your three digits to check them against every North Carolina Pick 3 Daytime and Evening draw from the last 30, 90 or 365 days. The checker shows Exact (straight) and Any Order (box) matches with their dates.
Choose Daytime, Evening or All to match the draw printed on the ticket. All covers a ticket played on both draws, and the 30-day range covers the last 60 Daytime and Evening draws. The latest checked draw is always included, so today's North Carolina Pick 3 numbers are searched as soon as they appear on the cards.
An Exact match pays $500 on a $1 play. An Any Order match pays $160 when your three digits include a pair (3-way) or $80 when all three differ (6-way), both on $1. A Fireball match counts only when the ticket shows Fireball. To check a Pick 4 ticket or another state, use the Pick 3 & Pick 4 number checker.

60 draws · Sep 11 – Oct 10, 2026
Each row pairs the 3:00 PM ET Daytime number with the 11:22 PM ET Evening number of the same date, so yesterday's Daytime number and last night's Evening number share yesterday's row. Older North Carolina Pick 3 draws will move to North Carolina Pick 3 past results, filed by month and year.
A $1 Exact play on North Carolina Pick 3 pays $500 when all three digits match in the drawn order. The odds of a Pick 3 Exact win are 1 in 1,000. Any Order pays $160 (3-way) or $80 (6-way).
| Play type (NC name) | Generic name | Wins when | Example (pick 1-2-3 unless stated) | $0.50 prize | $1 prize | Odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exact | Straight | All 3 digits match in the drawn order | 1-2-3 only | $250 | $500 | 1 in 1,000 |
| Any Order, 6-way | Box | 3 different digits match in any order | 1-2-3, 3-1-2 or any of 6 orders | $40 | $80 | 1 in 166.7 |
| Any Order, 3-way | Box | A pair plus 1 digit match in any order | Pick 1-1-2: 1-2-1, 2-1-1 or 1-1-2 | $80 | $160 | 1 in 333.3 |
| 50/50 (Exact/Any) | Straight/Box | $1 only: half Exact, half Any Order | Exact order: $330 (3-way) or $290 (6-way); any other order: $80 (3-way) or $40 (6-way) | – | $290–$330 exact; $40–$80 any order | As Exact / Any Order |
| Combo | Combo | Every Exact order of your digits on one ticket | 1-2-3 Combo = 6 Exact plays | Costs $1.50–$3; pays $250 | Costs $3–$6; pays $500 | 1 in 166.7 (6 orders) or 1 in 333.3 (3 orders) |
| Front Pair | Front pair | First 2 digits match in order | 1-2-X | $25 | $50 | 1 in 100 |
| Back Pair | Back pair | Last 2 digits match in order | X-2-3 | $25 | $50 | 1 in 100 |
The Daytime and Evening draws pay the same fixed prizes, so an Evening win and a Daytime win on the same play type pay the same amount. A 50/50 prize is the sum of the $0.50 Exact prize and the $0.50 Any Order prize: $250 + $80 = $330 for a 3-way number and $250 + $40 = $290 for a 6-way number.
North Carolina Pick 3 plays cost $0.50 or $1 each. The 50/50 play is sold at $1 only, and a Combo costs $1.50 to $6.00 depending on the number of orders and the wager. A triple such as 7-7-7 has only one order, so it is played Exact.
A $500 Exact prize at odds of 1 in 1,000 returns 50 cents per $1 Exact play over the long run.
Fireball doubles the cost of a North Carolina Pick 3 play (+$0.50 or +$1), and the Fireball digit stands in for any one of the three drawn digits, creating extra winning combinations that pay separately from the base prize. The NC Education Lottery added Fireball to Carolina Pick 3 on September 18, 2022.
| Play type | $0.50 base play | $1 base play |
|---|---|---|
| Exact | $90 | $180 |
| Any Order, 3-way | $30 | $60 |
| Any Order, 6-way | $15 | $30 |
| Front or Back Pair | $9 | $18 |
One ticket can win more than once with Fireball – up to $540 on a $1 Exact play of a triple such as 7-7-7 ($270 on $0.50). Fireball wins are paid in addition to any base win on the same ticket. The Fireball digit printed on each card above is the one used for that draw.
The Carolina Pick 3 game rules let the North Carolina Education Lottery stop accepting wagers on a number for a drawing once the total prize liability on that number reaches its limit. A heavily played Pick 3 number is therefore sometimes unavailable before sales close.
North Carolina Pick 3 is drawn 2 times a day, daily: Daytime at 3:00 PM ET and Evening at 11:22 PM ET. Retail ticket sales close at 2:45 PM and 11:00 PM ET.
| Draw | Time (ET) | Days | Retail sales close | Online Play sales close |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daytime | 3:00 PM | Daily (7 days) | 2:45 PM | 2:43 PM |
| Evening | 11:22 PM | Daily (7 days) | 11:00 PM | 10:58 PM |
Retail sales for the next draw restart at about 3:01 PM after the Daytime draw and about 11:30 PM after the Evening draw. Multi-Draw puts up to 7 consecutive Daytime or Evening draws on one ticket, and Advance Play lets players choose future draw days.
North Carolina Pick 3 draws use drawing machines with numbered balls or computerized random-number equipment certified by an independent third party; the game rules allow either. North Carolina is an Eastern Time state, so the times above are local clock times. Carolina Pick 3 began on October 6, 2006 with one nightly draw and has been drawn twice daily since March 30, 2008.
The North Carolina Education Lottery's Pick 3 page is the place to start for watching a North Carolina Pick 3 drawing live. The Evening drawing takes place at 11:22 PM ET and the Daytime drawing at 3:00 PM ET. ThreeFour does not stream drawings; it publishes each Daytime and Evening result on this page once it has been checked. Every state's draws also arrive one by one on our live Pick 3 & Pick 4 results board.
The table counts how often each North Carolina Pick 3 number was drawn in the last 365 days, Daytime and Evening combined, and lists the 10 most and 10 least drawn numbers with the date each last appeared.
1-5-8 was drawn 4 times in the last 740 North Carolina Pick 3 draws (Oct 11, 2025 – Oct 10, 2026), more than any other number.

486 of the 1,000 possible North Carolina Pick 3 numbers were not drawn at all in this period (Oct 11, 2025 – Oct 10, 2026).
Each draw is random. Past results do not make any number more or less likely to be drawn – the odds of a Pick 3 straight win stay 1 in 1,000 on every draw.
The 365-day count covers 730 North Carolina Pick 3 draws, two per day. With 1,000 possible numbers and 730 draws, a number drawn twice in the period already stands above most others, and many numbers have no hit at all. The Pick 3 number history tool lists every past draw of one chosen number.
Beyond today's North Carolina Pick 3 numbers, these answers cover how the game is played, what a winning ticket pays and how long you have to claim it.
The last North Carolina Pick 3 Evening draw, on Saturday, October 10, 2026, produced 3-7-1 with Fireball 9. The next Evening draw is at 11:22 PM ET, after the Daytime draw at 3:00 PM ET, and both appear here once checked.
North Carolina Pick 3 is drawn twice daily, seven days a week: Daytime at 3:00 PM ET and Evening at 11:22 PM ET. Retail sales stop at 2:45 PM and 11:00 PM ET, and Online Play stops two minutes earlier.
A $1 Exact play pays $500 and a $0.50 Exact play pays $250. Any Order pays $160 (3-way) or $80 (6-way) on $1, and a Front or Back Pair pays $50. Other states' prize tables are in Pick 3 payouts by state.
Pick three digits from 0 to 9, choose Exact, Any Order, 50/50, Combo or a Pair, and play $0.50 or $1 (50/50 is $1 only). Then choose the Daytime draw, the Evening draw or both. Our guide on how to play Pick 3 explains each play type.
Fireball doubles the price of a North Carolina Pick 3 play. One extra digit is drawn after each Daytime and Evening draw and replaces any one of the three winning digits, so a Fireball Exact win pays $180 on a $1 base play.
North Carolina Pick 3 prizes must be claimed within 180 calendar days of the drawing. A mailed claim must arrive inside that window – the postmark does not count. Players must be 18 or older; see how to claim a North Carolina lottery prize.
