It can replace any one of the drawn digits, creating N additional combinations (N = 3/4/5 for Pick 3/4/5); if the play matches any of those combinations it wins a FIREBALL prize, separate from and in addition to any base prize. It Doubles the Pick wager per play (+50c on a 50c play, +$1 on a $1 play)..
