because you will have numbers that come up repeatedly or more often and less often in a given draw history.You also have numbers that don't come up for weeks,in the Pick-3/4 games I've seen a number drawn 4 days in a row while another number was out for 2 wks.In the Pick-3/4 you can observe the numbers Hit/Skip activity and select a group of numbers

If his/her observation is correct then there is nothing wrong with Tennessee’s RNG picking the number 7 three draws in a row.

Do we have someone from Florida who can verify this?

Lately in Georgia with ball draw we've had the same digits drawn in Cash 3 back to back or within a few days of one another ..... have seen comments on LP wondering what's happening when we see the draw take place before our very eyes.

In the case of Tennessee the same digits were drawn within 4 draws ..... behind closed door with no players being able to watch the actual drawing ........ which certainly raises suspicions discussed here and in other posts about Tennessee's RNG's.

Nothing feels random about the same digits in 4 consecutive draws, does it?????? 

The observation made by Pick-4_Master is not relevant to this discussion, because we are not talking about one digit being drawn on consecutive days, or being "out" for a couple weeks.

We are talking about all three digits matching several draws in a row, and not just happening once:  it happened just last month too!

The odds of that taking place are astronomical, and you'd have to try very hard to find another time, in any state, where it has happened.  Perhaps it's never happened, I'm not sure.

it's not the 369 combo by itself. it is the selection of 3, 6 and 9 individually over that period. yes, there just happens to be a 369 combo, but it also has the highest payout, too. that payout also adds to the suspicion of the particular numbers of 3, 6 and 9.

I wouldn't put to much into 369 coming out and having a high payout. It's a popular number with mechanics and mussel car buffs. 369 big block Chevy engine.

Also considering the digits 3-6-9 were showing up a lot in the draws before 369 came out. Some people just might have had a hunch it would come out.

How many people who live at the address 369 you think might play it especially on Christmas.

3-6-9 is one of the most popular numbers consistently played in Pick 3 games.  Look it up- there will be a big payout EVERY time that number hits, especially straight. 

OK, a quick look at the last six months of Illinois Pick 3 numbers revealed this... And they have ball drawings right?

NO WAY ...NO HOW!!!

2 days in a row..maybe. It has happened!

But 3 days

I wouldn't spend dime one in Tenn.

I have a hard a time enough believing in the 100% integrity of regular BALL DRAWS in my own home state let alone some computer that can calculate HOUSE STAKES vs ACTUAL # OF BETTERS .

Maybe it's a lack of understanding. But I don't get how in BALL DRAW states why they run several tests before the actual draw.

IS IT LIMITED TO "x" amount of pre-draw tests?

Or do LOTTERY OFFICIALS get to choose the number of "dry run tests" ?

I think those of you in and around TN should rape the TN Lottery for everything you can the next time something like this happens. Play that 'hunch' and suck the life out their profits. I think if they see a payout of $5,000,000.00 on one Pick 3 draw they'd really do something about it.

CL...actually what you have shown, is normal. 60% of the times, 1 digit will repeat from one drawing to the next ( midday to midday and evening to evening ). 2 digit returns average about 1 in 6 draws and they can move eve to eve and midday to eve or eve to midday and midday to midday, for the 2 digit returns....I will generally watch for those that are out  for awhile and play them. But what has happened in Tenn........WOW !!!!!!!!!

Also. what you have shown is over 6 months and it does happen from time to time...even here in michigan...but Tenn is a whole different animal............

It is a 396 cu. inch big block a relative of the 409 cu. inch big block which spawned the baddest rat motor of all the 427 cu. inch bigblock. Me like big block Chebies.

  Goes into.

 I miss my baby.

Thanks for straightening that out. I currently own a vehicle with a 350 M motor see if that is in wikiwiki.

But nevertheless, yeah, all of these engines are kindred, but saying 369 cu. in. is kinda like scratching the chalk board to us old motor heads.  No biggie.

The last thing I rebuilt is a 225 Evinrude loop scavenge 2-stroke boat engine, it is rated in KW output @ 5500 rpms its output (theoretically) is about 18 Kwatts. the boat weighs about 2,700lbs. at about 1/2 throttle trimmed out on calm water is about as fun as it gets, it is almost like flying with instantaneous response.  If you ever so slightly accelerate it puts you back and turning you can feel the G force!

350 Chevy engine

 one of my favorite numbers

While i am mostly into big blocks more has been done to the 350 engine then just about any engine. Gorilla motor comes to mind. You can mix and mingle 400 Chevy parts cranks etc and build just about any street or strip aplication. All depends on how deep your pockets are.
