robertnj $1 Straight bet @ your corner store for Pick 3 is $500. On 5Dimes, you get $900 for $1 Straight. Essentially, on 5D, your wins are almost double from your local store. Also, you can bet upwards to $100 max on a ticket for crazy payout ex: $90K Pick 3 & $225K Pick 4, whereas your corner store max is $5 & payout varies from State to State but not as much as 5D.
