Pick 3 players wagered more than $93,000 for Saturday’s mid-day draw. Players won $475,000. That’s more than five times what the lottery took in revenue.
“We are happy that our players were lucky and we were able to share this unique payout,” said Tony Cooper, SCEL’s Chief Operating Officer. “We’re in the business of creating winners.”
