Pick 3™ plus FIREBALL Evening Pre-test Results
The Texas Lottery performs at least four pre-tests before every Pick 3 Fireball drawing. The Pick 3 Fireball drawing machine uses one ball set.
If the same Pick 3 Fireball ball is drawn four times, a fifth pre-test is performed. If the Pick 3 Fireball ball that was drawn four times is drawn a fifth time, then the ball set will not pass the pre-tests. The alternate Pick 3 Fireball ball set is used for the official drawing.
When a ball set does not pass the pre-tests, more pre-tests are performed to test the alternate ball set. These additional pre-tests are shown in RED.
If the designated Pick 3 Fireball drawing machine malfunctions during the pre-tests, the alternate Pick 3 Fireball drawing machine is used. A new set of pre-tests are conducted with the alternate Pick 3 Fireball drawing machine and the designated Pick 3 Fireball ball set. The new set(s) of pre-tests conducted with the alternate machine are shown below.
Asterisks (*) mark the machine and ball set used for the drawing.
In the case of a discrepancy between the pre-test results listed on this website and the official pre-test records, the official records prevail.
