Games similar to Nebraska Pick 3 are offered by many other lotteries
across the nation, including those in Iowa, Kansas and Missouri.
In August 2004, the Nebraska Lottery conducted a web-based survey
to test various concepts for a new Lotto game. The survey was conducted
through the Nebraska Lottery website, www.nelottery.com, and
drew almost 1,000 responses.
The survey asked respondents' impressions of everything ranging
from a game's matrix (how many numbers are drawn) to its prize structure,
and from a game's play style to drawing frequency. Results were
used to examine various game concepts, and led to the decision to introduce
Nebraska Pick 3 as the fourth Lotto game offered by the Nebraska
Lottery.
