Lottery Pick Games Pay Out More Than $8 Million To Players
1-1-1-1 and 3-3-3 are the big winners over the weekend

(Baltimore) Typically, the last weekend in August signals the end of summer. But for thousands of lucky Lottery players, this Labor Day weekend felt more like Christmas. That’s because Saturday’s mid-day Pick 4 drawing of 1-1-1-1 produced $7 million in prize money paid to lucky Lottery players across the State, while Sunday’s mid-day Pick 3 drawing of 3-3-3 gave players more than $1 million dollars in prize money.
 
“Not only is it unusual to draw a triple or quadruple digit number,” said Lottery Director Buddy Roogow. “But to have them happen in the same weekend is really special. What a great way for our players to start their Labor Day weekend.” Total sales for the Saturday mid-day Pick 4 drawing, which produced the maximum payout allowed by the Lottery, were $279,723.50. Total sales for the Sunday mid-day Pick 3 drawing were $254,707.50.
