Nine Was The Lucky Number For Pennsylvania's PICK 3 Drawing On Friday

MIDDLETOWN, P.A., (CBS) -- Nine was the lucky number on Friday.

The Pennsylvania Lottery's PICK 3 drawing produced winning numbers of 9-9-9 on Friday. The winning combination produced a total payout of $1,444,800 to 5,808 winners.

The combination is a rare one when it comes to the PICK 3 drawing. Since 1977, when the three-digit draw first started, 9-9-9 has been drawn just 12 times. Reminder: there is a day and evening drawing.

October 22, 2007 was the last time 9-9-9 was drawn during the day and it was on October 9, 2008, the last time it popped up during the evening drawing.

This is the 201st time that triple of any number have been drawn. It is just the 48th time it has happened during the day compared to 153 times that it has occurred at night.

2010 marks the year when the most triples were drawn with a total of 14.
