Anonymous
The Delaware Lottery drew its Play 3 Day and Play 3 Night numbers on July 9, 2026, giving players two chances to win on the same day. Delaware Online reported the results, noting that the lottery offers several draw games including Play 3 Day, Play 3 Night, and Play 4 Night.
Delaware lottery winners have a key benefit: they can stay anonymous no matter how much they win. Winners have up to one year from the drawing date to claim their prize.
How Delaware Play 3 Works and What It Pays
Play 3 is one of Delaware's daily draw games. It is held twice each day — once in the afternoon and once at night. Players pick a three-digit number and choose how they want to play it. The game runs seven days a week, giving players frequent chances to win.
To claim a prize, winners need a signed ticket and a completed claim form. According to Delaware Online, players can mail these in or visit the Lottery Office in person. Tickets stay valid for one full year past the drawing date, so there is no need to rush.
Delaware Lets All Winners Stay Anonymous
Most states require big lottery winners to go public. Delaware is different. The state lets every winner stay anonymous, regardless of the prize amount. That means no press conferences, no public records, and no unwanted attention after a win.
This policy applies to all Delaware draw games, not just Play 3. It is one of the features that sets Delaware's lottery apart from many others across the country.
Other State Lotteries Also Drew Numbers on July 9
Delaware was not alone in drawing numbers on July 9, 2026. Several other states held their own daily games the same day. Ohio ran its Pick 3 Midday and Pick 3 Evening draws, according to Cincinnati.com. Kentucky held its Cash Ball and Pick 3 Evening drawings, per Courier-Journal.
Illinois ran its Pick 3 and Pick 4 games on the same date, with prizes ranging up to $10,000, according to PJ Star. Iowa's lottery also drew Pick 3 Midday and Pick 3 Evening numbers, with the state's all-time top prize on record standing at $11,000, won back in 2004, per Des Moines Register.
How to Claim a Delaware Lottery Prize by Mail
Players who win do not have to visit an office to collect their money. Delaware allows winners to start the claim process at any time within the one-year window. A signed ticket and a completed claim form are all that is needed to mail in a prize request.
For those who prefer in-person service, the Lottery Office is also an option. The same one-year rule applies to Instant Games, which must be claimed within one year of the announced end of sales for that game.
