Fireball

In Cash 3, a fourth number is selected in every draw – the Fireball. It is drawn after the three main numbers have been revealed and is also chosen from a range of 0 to 9. It works like a Bonus Ball or wildcard as it can be used to replace any of the three winning numbers.

Fireball was launched in July 2022, almost two years after Cash 3 began in September 2020. Find out more about how it works.

How to Play

While a Fireball number is always drawn in Cash 3, it is up to you as a player to decide whether to include it in your game or not. All you need to do is select the ‘Yes’ box next to Fireball on your playslip, or request it from the retailer.

Adding Fireball doubles the cost of your wager, so it must be applied at the point of purchase. You cannot wait until the draw takes place and then decide that having the Fireball would benefit you. If you don’t play this feature and then it turns out the Fireball could have given you a prize, there is nothing you can do about it.

If you include Fireball, you can check the results after a draw to see if you can use it to give you a winning combination. Swap out any of the three winning digits and replace it with the Fireball to create a win. If you’re not sure whether it would be a win, you can visit any Mississippi Lottery retailer to check your tickets.

Examples

You can get one or more wins with the Fireball feature, depending on the combination of numbers you pick and the outcome of the draw.

For example, if you play an Exact Order wager, pick 777 and the numbers drawn are 777, you already have a win in the base game. If the Fireball is also a 7, you can replace any of the three 7s that have been drawn to give you three more wins. If the winning line was 707, all you need to do is switch out the 0 for the Fireball of 7 and you have one winning combination.

If you play an Any Order wager and pick 456, you do not win in the base game if the numbers drawn are 946. However, if the Fireball is a 5, this can be brought in to replace the 9 and create a winning combination of 546. Here are a few more examples of how you can win with Fireball.
