The first 3 digit I ever hit was off the license plate of a guy's car that I had previously confronted and was gonna beat up.

Weeks after confronting him, I guess I had grown wisdom enough to forgive him.

It was around that time that I hit the number off his license plate.

What made me play his license plate number?

It was pure coincidence.

One day, I was walking down the street when his car rode by.

It was then that I decided to play the number on his license plate.

What is the difference between your options of math and "math"?

Good poll, Brock. I know it's just for fun, but if you play in a state with pari-mutuel payouts for all the draw games, you have to consider avoiding numbers with lower payouts.

For instance, on March 13 this year the California midday Pick 3 was 2-2-2, and because 570 people played that number, the straight payout was only $213.

Five days earlier on March 8, the evening Pick 3 was 5-9-4, and because only 32 people played that number, the straight payout was $704.

So if you're a regular Pick 3 player in CA it pays to avoid the numbers that tons of other players like to play. The ones that always have low straight and box payouts are triples, 911, 711, 420, and any time the draw numbers match the current date.

it's like the difference between asking for a friend and asking "for a friend."

i wonder which is worse, playing 711 on july 11, or 420 on april 20?

Get a big bowl of water, while in a candlelit room, put on some Pink Floyd, drink 3/4 glasses of wine, swirl the water really fast and wait for numbers to appear.

Next morning take 2 Motrin, 2 cups of coffee, mop floor, throw broken bowl in garbage, scrap wax off plate., and still think David Gilmour is the coolest guy ever. Try to remember numbers.

Happy Father's Day.

1. Study the Statistics:
2. Analyze previous draws and note down the numbers that appear most frequently.
3. Look for patterns or trends.

The first time I ever hit a lottery number.. I was about 19..I said to myself, "whichever number I see 3 times, I'm going to play it." I saw the digits 3-1-9 in different orders on license plates. Played it .50 box and won $40 that evening. 🤑 I didn't vote license plates tho. 😆

Good Luck everyone 🤑

If you think there is not a way to predict winning numbers in pick 3 and profit, this would be incorrect.

I use to think it was before learning alot more.

You need to focus on some out of box thinking (ex. strings, digit transits)

and combine with other tools such as:

-waging strategy

-playing low sets

-tracking due digits in each position

-tracking for when certain patterns are super due (ex. tracking doubles? ex. 10 draws out + all other tools combined pointing together to something = then play)

if you combine all these tools together you put yourself in situation where you're only playing when you've manipulated a numbers of factors in your favor (I don't know if "odds" is the right wording because its random so lets call it factors)

The way I see and deal with random is -- just because you have the perfect scenario for a hit doesn't mean you will get one because the lottery is random..

but if you put yourself in enough of those perfect scenarios you will come away with hits.

and if you have a proper waging strategy you will be profitable...a pick 3 straight pays 500 to 1 and even more elsewhere.
