Instant Match is an add-on feature that you can play alongside Pick 3 for the chance to win prizes of up to $500 on the spot. Find out more about how it works and all the prizes you can win.
To add Instant Match to your Pick 3 ticket, all you need to do is mark 'Yes' on your playslip where it says 'Play Instant Match?'. It costs an extra $1 per play.
When you receive your ticket, you will see three Instant Match numbers printed below your Pick 3 selection. Each one will have a prize amount alongside it.
If any of these Instant Match numbers match the numbers you chose for Pick 3, you win the associated prize. It is even possible to win two or three times on the same ticket.
The appeal of Instant Match is that you don't have to wait for a draw to take place. You can find out if you are a winner as soon as you are given your ticket, and claim any prizes there and then. You could then also win a prize in the Pick 3 draw when that takes place at Midday or in the Evening.
You cannot cancel Instant Match tickets after they have been purchased.
