Geocache Description:

This is a Challenge Cache. Although the posted coordinates are correct, you MUST complete the Challenge requirements to qualify yourself so you can make the find.



This Challenge Cache has been designed to by played along with the Missouri Lottery Pick 3 game.
Just as winning the lottery is a gamble and game of chance, so will be completing the requirements for logging this Challenge.
Luckily tho, this Challenge will give you two chances to win daily.

The guidelines to complete this Challenge are fairly simple and straight forward.
Pick 3 numbers are drawn twice daily. Once at midday, then again in the evening.
You simply need to take the 3 numbers that were selected and find a TRADITIONAL cache that contains those 3 numbers. These numbers MUST be the LAST 3 in either the north OR west coordinates. Also, they MUST be in the EXACT order that they were drawn.
In addition to finding this qualifying cache, it MUST also be found the SAME day(before midnight) that its numbers were drawn.
It is up to you to research and find any qualifying geocaches in your area.
For users of GSAK, a macro has been created for this Challenge to simplify the task of finding your winning numbers. Thanks Kai Team!

Geocaches that publish the same day as the drawing are not allowed to be used as a qualifying cache for that day. Only caches that published the day prior or before can qualify.
The final cache for this Challenge DOES NOT have to be found the same day of the drawing like the qualifying cache. It can be found at your own leisure.
When posting your found log, you must include the GC# of your qualifying cache and the Pick 3 numbers for the day you found it.
Lottery numbers are archived on the Missouri Lottery web site for easy verification of your claim.
It is also an excellent place to view the numbers drawn for that day, among numerous other sources.


Additional Guidelines


  • You can not find a cache that you own.
  • You can not find a cache that you have already found.
  • This is a Missouri Challenge, so your qualifying cache MUST be in Missouri.
  • Only TRADITIONAL geocaches are allowed.
  • Only the posted coordinates at the top of the cache page are allowed. Any additional waypoints associated to a cache may not be used.
  • The qualifying cache must be an active cache.
  • The guidelines of qualifying caches must be followed too. For example, if it is a "daylight hours" only cache, then it must be found in the daylight. Not following guidelines will disqualify your qualification find.
