Fireball (add-on)

One FIREBALL number 0-9 is drawn after the Pick 3 and Pick 4 drawings (the same digit for both games); it replaces each drawn Pick 3 digit in turn to create three FIREBALL combinations, and every combination your play matches wins. FIREBALL prizes are in addition to base-game prizes. It doubles the cost of each play (+50c on a 50c play, +$1 on $1; +$6 on a $6 six-way combo).
