the fact is you dont care what 3 numbers are drawn makes the 1st draw irellevant, say 111 is drawn , who care is could have 222 or 345.

that sets the number you are testing for the second draw, which is 1 in 1000

infact you are stating unity for the test of the 1st draw, the odds of any number being drawn is 1000 in 1000 or 1

so the odds are in fact 1x1000]]> savagegoose http://www.lotterypost.com/thread/187972/1225598 http://www.lotterypost.com/thread/187972/1225598 Fri, 13 Feb 2009 16:39:12 GMT tjgorilla tjgorilla http://www.lotterypost.com/thread/187972/1221733 http://www.lotterypost.com/thread/187972/1221733 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 23:08:09 GMT Tenaj Tenaj http://www.lotterypost.com/thread/187972/1215080 http://www.lotterypost.com/thread/187972/1215080 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 09:36:50 GMT KY Floyd
By calculating the chances of getting the same number on the first 3 days without getting it on any of the other 3, you've excluded the chance that it could happen on other days, and still only happen 3 times. Even if we limit ourselves to 3 consecutive days instead of any 3 days, there are still 4 possible outcomes. The 3 cons...

This comes from actual data taken from the Wisconsin Daily Pick 3 draws.

Below is a short list of the calculation, however, you can download the Excel file with the following link.

http://home.mchsi.com/~jadelottery/Pick3NextDrawMatchProbability.xls

It reaffirms the calculation of (1 current known draw / 1000 next unknown possible draws).

NOT 1/1000000... IT'S 1/1000.

As soon as the draw is made, there are no probabilities to calculate... it's just 1, because it's a KNOWN combination.

Probabilities that calculate numbers like 1/2, 1/10, 1/100 or 1/1000 are for the UNKNOWN.

Hence, because the current draw is KNOWN and next nights draw is UNKNOWN, the probability is 1 x 1/1000 or 1 / 1000.

Here's my work out, for a 6 drawing set. Now, remember I was answering RJOh's question of the odds of a threepeat . He didn't specify a certain number.

Let's call our target number 000. That comes out on the first day.

On the second day, 000 has 1 in 1000 chance of falling again. Overall odds so far: 1/1000

The chance that any specific 3 digit number will come up in one drawing is 1 in 1000, so the chance of a specific number coming up in two consecutive drawings is 1/1000 * 1/1000, or 1 in 1 million.

1:10 x 1:10 x 1:10 = 1:1,000

Think of two slot machines with three ten number reels sitting side by side having the same three number combination come up in the same order.

1:1,000 x 1:1,000 = 1:1,000,000

However, once the first machine has been pulled and we know that combination the odds of the second machine matching it are 1:1,000.

1 x 1:1,000 = 1:1,000

At least that's what I think. BobP]]> BobP http://www.lotterypost.com/thread/187972/1208719 http://www.lotterypost.com/thread/187972/1208719 Sat, 24 Jan 2009 19:31:04 GMT JADELottery
The average rate of reoccurrence for a draw to repeat itself the next night is once every 1,000 draws.

That's once every 2.738 years.

It's an average only, meaning it's more likely to happen sooner than later.

You can find the distribution of these rates of reoccurrence using a topic we posted a while ago, Discharging Reoccurrence Distribution and a related topic, Random Number Transforms - Reoccurrence Distribution.]]> JADELottery http://www.lotterypost.com/thread/187972/1208061 http://www.lotterypost.com/thread/187972/1208061 Sat, 24 Jan 2009 02:43:37 GMT jr-va
on one hand I see that ANY 2 draws have 1,000,000 possible 2-sets because it's 1,000x1,000

However, asking for odds of ANY TWIN of previous draw does seem that you would divide 1,000,000 by 1,000 possible sets of twins ...and it equlas 1:1,000. (So do the odds of having a SPECIFIC TWIN equal 1:1,000 because of having 1,000 possible twins, but it must be a day of twins first) . I am still somewhat confused

It really depends on what kind of RNG the computer is using.

With computers that use the decay of radioactive material as their basis for the random numbers, then I feel like it is sufficiently random, the odds are probably a good measure.

Lottery spokesman Brian Rockey says one of two lottery computers that randomly generate combinations picked the numbers 1, 9 and 6 in that order for Monday night's drawing. He says the other computer picked the same three numbers Tuesday in the same sequence.
