MIDDLETOWN, Pa., May 6, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — A surprise Double Draw was held for the Pennsylvania Lottery’s The Daily Number mid-day game on Sunday, May 5. A total of 1,974 winners received $141,930 for the two draws.

The Daily Number mid-day winning numbers were: 0-2-3. The Daily Number mid-day Double Draw winning numbers were: 0-7-9.

Double Draw is a surprise second drawing for The Daily Number, BIG 4 or Quinto mid-day or evening drawings. Double Draws are not publicized in advance, but are announced when the regular drawing is conducted – meaning it could be any day. 

The Pennsylvania Lottery automatically pays winners on a double drawing, just like a regular winning ticket. Prizes may be claimed by presenting a winning ticket at any licensed Pennsylvania Lottery retail location or at any of the Lottery’s seven regional offices.

The Daily Number, BIG 4 and Quinto games are drawn twice daily, and players can play up to one week in advance. Winning numbers for all games are posted at www.palottery.com.

How to Play The Daily Number:  The Daily Number is a three-digit numbers game. Players may bet $.50, $1, $2, $3, $4, or $5 per play. Players may choose, or allow the Lottery terminal to randomly quick-pick, any three-digit number. Numbers can be played straight, boxed, straight box, super straight, front pair, and back pair. A straight bet pays 500-to-1. Other payouts vary based on the type of bet placed.
