Nebraska Lottery

Nebraska runs Pick 3 (Pick 3) and Pick 4 (Pick 4). Each is a daily-number game — you pick the digits and the lottery draws the same number of digits, each from 0–9. Tap a game to open its full results history and pattern analytics on DueDigits.

National & multi-state games

Beyond its daily-number games, Nebraska also sells Powerball, Mega Millions and Millionaire for Life. Tap a game for live results, jackpot history, hot & cold numbers, and Smart Picks.

DueDigits tracks Nebraska’s daily-number games and the national jackpot games shown above. Nebraska also runs other draw and instant games — for example in-state jackpot, add-on, keno, fast-play, and scratch-off games — that DueDigits doesn’t currently track. For the state’s full game lineup, see the Nebraska Lottery.

All times are U.S. Central. Sales usually close shortly before each draw — confirm exact cutoffs with the Nebraska Lottery.

• Pick 3 — once daily: Evening (22:00 CT)
• Pick 4 — once daily: Evening (22:00 CT)

Nebraska’s daily-number games share the standard menu of play types:

• Straight — match the drawn digits in exact order — the top payout.
• Box — win on any arrangement of your digits — a lower payout with better odds.
• Straight/Box — split one stake across a straight and a box on the same number.
• Combo — covers every straight arrangement of your digits at once.
• Front / Back Pair — match just the first or last digits, in order, instead of the whole number.

Not every play type is offered on every game, and add-ons can change, so confirm the current menu with the Nebraska Lottery. For the full breakdown of how each bet pays, see Box vs. Straight Payouts.

Because every result is equally likely, the straight odds for each game are fixed:

• Pick 3 (Pick 3) — 1 in 1,000 straight.
• Pick 4 (Pick 4) — 1 in 10,000 straight.

Box plays have better odds but smaller payouts. Prize amounts vary by play type, wager size, and state, and can change over time — check the Nebraska Lottery for current Nebraska payout tables. No past result ever changes a future draw; see Lottery Odds Explained for the full math and what “due” really means.

Smaller prizes can be cashed at licensed Nebraska Lottery retailers; larger prizes are claimed at a Nebraska Lottery claim center or by mail.

Deadline: You have 180 days from the drawing date to claim a Nebraska draw-game prize. Check the deadline printed on your ticket, since an expired ticket can’t be redeemed.

Taxes: Yes. Nebraska withholds 3.5% state tax and 24% federal tax on prizes over $5,000. This isn’t tax advice; consult a professional.

Claim locations, deadlines, and tax details can change — always confirm the current process with the Nebraska Lottery. This is general information, not legal or tax advice.

In many states, a lottery winner’s name and city or county become public record once a prize is claimed, and the lottery may use them in publicity. Some states let winners remain anonymous, or claim through a trust or legal entity to keep their name private.

Winners of $250,000 or more can’t be publicly identified without written authorization; for prizes under $250,000, the name, hometown, and amount are public. Some winners also claim through a trust or LLC.

Winner-privacy laws change; confirm the current policy with the Nebraska Lottery before you claim a large prize.
