Each play type in Cash 3 offers a different payout, based on the odds of winning. The most you can win is 500x your stake, if you play a Straight and match all three numbers in exact order. For most play types you can wager $0.50 or $1, and the amount you pay also helps to determine how much you can win. The table below shows all the prizes you can win, and the odds for each play type.

All the prize amounts are fixed, so you are guaranteed to receive the full advertised amount if you win. However, there is now a liability limit of $10 million for Cash 3, making this the maximum that the Georgia Lottery can pay out in total for a particular draw. If ticket sales for any number combination, such as 111, are so high that it would take the total payout past $10 million if those three digits were drawn, then sales for that number may be suspended.
You can claim prizes from Georgia Lottery retailers, one of the state’s district offices or the Georgia Lottery’s headquarters in Atlanta. Alternatively, you can claim by mailing your winning ticket to Georgia Lottery Corporation, P.O. Box 56966, Atlanta, GA 30343. If you’ve played online, Cash 3 prizes will be paid straight into your digital account.
