Pega 2 — Results, How to Play and Next Draw

Pega 2, Pega 3 and Pega 4 are the numbers games of Puerto Rico's Lotería Electrónica — equivalent to Pick-2, Pick-3 and Pick-4 in mainland US lotteries. Players choose 2, 3 or 4 digits from 0-9 respectively. Minimum bet is $1. Draws are held twice daily Monday through Saturday: 2:00 PM and 10:00 PM, broadcast live on Canal 6 (WIPR) and social media. Prizes range from $50 (Pega 2 exact with $1) to $5,000 (Pega 4 exact with $1).

The Wild Ball is an additional wildcard number drawn alongside the regular Pega 2, 3 and 4 numbers since October 2022. It acts as a number that can SUBSTITUTE any digit in your combination, creating additional winning plays you wouldn't otherwise have. Cost: $1 extra per play. Example with Pega 3: if you played 456 and the Wild Ball is 7, you can win with 756, 476 or 457 — three additional winning combinations for just $1 extra.

Approximations are an optional add-on for Pega 3 and Pega 4 that lets you win if the drawn number is immediately before or after the number you played. If you played 456 in Pega 3, with Approximation you also win if 455 or 457 is drawn. Approximations were introduced in July 2007. Look for the 'A' next to your play on the ticket to confirm it is active. The approximation prize is lower than the exact match but provides a second chance to win.

Pega 2, Pega 3 and Pega 4 draws are held twice daily, 6 days a week MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY: daytime draw at 2:00 PM and nighttime draw at 10:00 PM. Broadcast live on Canal 6 (WIPR). Three hours before each draw, Lotería Electrónica employees and an external auditor arrive at WIPR-TV to supervise the entire process. No draws on Sundays.

An exact Pega 3 match in Puerto Rico pays $500 per $1 bet. Bet $2 and win $1,000. Bet $5 and win $2,500. The 'combined' modality (any order of the 3 numbers) pays less. With Wild Ball ($1 extra), you have up to 3 additional winning combinations if the wildcard substitutes any of your numbers. Pega prizes are exempt from taxes up to $10,000.

In Puerto Rico you have 180 days (6 months) from the draw date to claim any Lotería Electrónica prize, including Pega 2, 3 and 4. This is longer than most LATAM lotteries (which give 60-90 days). Prizes up to $1,200: any authorized sales point (after 3:00 PM). Up to $25,000: authorized colecturías or cambio centers. Over $25,000: Central Offices in Hato Rey (appointment required: 787-250-8150).

No. Puerto Rico's Pega 2, 3 and 4 draws are held MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY — no Sunday draws. This differs from Central American lotteries like LOTO Nicaragua (4 daily draws all 7 days) or Dominican LEIDSA (special Sunday schedule). In Puerto Rico, Sunday has no electronic lottery draws.
