With the any order option, if the 3 digits picked match the combination you chose in any order, you get $80. You can receive $160 for matching your 3 numbers chosen in any order, where 2 of the 3 digits chosen are the same.
With the pick your wager option, you wager either $1 or 50 cents. On a 50 cent wager, the mentioned prize amount is reduced by 50 percent. Finally, you can choose 3 numbers between 0 and 9 you can choose the same number once, twice or three times, or you can pick three varying numbers.
