Pick 3 Rules & How It Works (Vermont)

Pick 3 rules

The legal age of playing the Maine Pick 3 Lottery is 18 years.
Players are responsible to ensure the accuracy of their ticket, not the retailers or authorities.
Players need to claim their winnings within a valid time period of 365 days else their winnings will be fortified.
All games are strictly subjected to the Maine State Laws.
Winners can claim their prize by representing the ticket only, not the playslip. It is the sole document to claim the prize.
If you make a mistake on the playslip, mark the VOID box, and use the next play.

History

The idea of creating a lottery in Maine was proposed by Rep. Arthur Genest of Waterville. It was in 1973, that Genest sponsored the bill to establish a lottery in Maine. The bill was approved by the Senate, as well as by the public and the operations of the lottery began in 1974.

The first lottery numbers of the government-run Maine Lottery were drawn by Governor Kenneth M. Curtis. The proceeds by the Maine Lottery are transferred to the State’s General Fund which supports programs and services for the citizens of the State of Maine. Maine Lottery encapsulates really exciting lottery games like Mega Millions, Powerball, Pick 3, Pick 4, Tri State Megabucks, Lotto America, Gimme 5, and many more, so you always have a chance to win something big!
