List of each time Midday and Evening numbers are equalPrevious TopicNext Topic

Following the Tennessee Lottery's unusual Pick 3 numbers Thursday -- where the midday and evening draw results were the same -- I decided to find out how many times that has happened before.

(Story here: http://www.lotterypost.com/news/161946)

So I constructed some custom database queries to dig out the answer, and here are the results.

Each Pick 3 number in the list below appeared in both the midday and evening drawing in that state on the same date.

Thanks Todd, that's interesting!!

Thanks Todd. This is a very interesting list. I wished you had noted which states were RNG, but I can look that up.

Yes, that list is already online in the Results menu!

Thanks Todd you are the man. I tried looking at some of those occurrences but after pages and pages and more pages gave up. I was specifically looking at Rng states to try and clear up the fact that same digit repeats do happen and it isn't necessarily rigged although it could be.

Some additional facts are same digit exacts can happen from evening to midday as well.

Many times i have noticed when this happens that the second time it happens they have paid out more $$$ on the number as people tend to play the last number that came out hoping for a repeat.  

Excellent info. I am surprised that MD. isn't there since the earliest match date. MD. is ball drawn.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Todd, I love it when you get in the mix!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the info.

Thank you Todd.    In my tracking I've seen it happen many times when the same number but different position hit from midday to Evening as well.  That would be a interesting list, too.

jarasan, there are some for sure it's been a while Todd's data base only goes back so far. I understand why with complete databases for every state there would be billions of numbers.

We had 2 recent back to back numbers come out but they weren't exact order, or same day but they were evening to midday. Players who use this method to trap a win would play it combination securing the straight box win. 

This is typical of how it repeats happen most times same digits in different order.

Many states include the complete drawing database, all the way back.  New Jersey's goes back into the 1970's, when the games began.  I will soon have the entire history of Maryland's installed (back to July 29, 1976).  Right now it goes back to 1990 (18 years of data).
