They will only allow so many 3 digit combinations to be played to prevent huge payouts should that number be drawn.
I think it's due to
1. People tend to play that number because of the significance of day(sad event)
2. Lottery has a cap on maximum times a number can be bought. Possibly to avoid loss and closure. Lottery organizations are not in for charity - they want big money.

Some might be JUST a little hung up on playslips. The vast majority of sales that I've done so far have been QP's straight from the terminal. All the playslips we have are just gathering dust.

Filling payslips manually restricts us from playing too many numbers.. One advantage this has is that,, it makes us think atleast once on some day , why are you pouring so much money down the drain.

If we try to print playslips to play more, it doesn't make sense unless We play in a pool or syndicate.

Good Luck

Gesture toward the payslips and encourage customers to pick their own losers.

The odds of 911 being drawn on September 11th in any state is exactly the same as 229 being drawn on February 29, 1 in 1000. And believe it or not the odds are exactly the same as any other 3 digit number being drawn.

"They will only allow so many 3 digit combinations to be played to prevent huge payouts should that number be drawn.

Saw where Vermont averages less than 35,000 tickets sales for PB and multiple tickets matching five numbers with a large multiplier could create a huge problem for them. And it shows a logical and obvious reason to limit sales on and fixed payoff games. I believe with the exception of pick-3 pari-mutual payoffs, most states have an aggravate sales limit.

Can you imagine what could happen if 110 powerplay tickets matched five numbers with multiplier of "5" (that's $550 million all in cash) like with the Fortune Cookie numbers in 2001?

The probability is the same for every pick3 number: 1/1000, or 0.001 if you prefer, or equivalently 0.1%. AKA, odds of 1 in 1000. This is not rocket science.

Do you understand how odds are just another way of expressing probability?

"This is not rocket science"

Yeah, you're right , this IZ NOT "ROCKET SCIENCE", so STOP applyin Werhner Von Braun Logic to it.. cause nutin iz evah gonna take off for ya, if ya plannin on landing a Jackpot..!!

The POSSIBILITIES are the same, being that 0-9 are all included in the Matrix's Pool,..thus MAY appear at any given time ,but their PROBABILITIES are NOT the same..because if they were, they ALL WOULD APPEAR AT THE SAME TIME..!! ,but they DON'T..!! ..cause the LAWS of Probability says they kain't, Ain't, Won't & Don't..

If you'll take dat cotton outta yo eyez, you'll finally see and hopefully understand that Odds & Probability slightly express 2 different thingz...

*Probability expresses "when you can expect" an event of intrest to occur..

*Odds expresses "how often that event of intrest is on time", vs "how often it iz NOT on time".... WHEN It'z expected..

The terms are erroneously interchangeably used in this Industry...

Naaah, you do understand THAT don't you?

Aaaah, stop being "butt hurt"..cause Probability kicked you in yo romp.... You shouldn't have foolishly challenged it, for you unknowingly challenged GOD's LAWS..

I know, I know...thoroughly understanding Probability involves slightly more than the limited "Texez 2 Steps" you're use to..Sorry that the concept iz byond the grasp ov whut'z between YO earz..!!

"*Probability expresses "when you can expect" an event of intrest to occur.."

I've never suffered from the delusion that I'm smart enough to conceive of just how stupid some people can be, but if I did think that you'd set me straight with almost every post.

Is there any chance you've ever wondered why the word is probability instead of whenability?

I too, never suffered from the delusion that I'm smart enough to conceive of just how stupid some people can be either, but naah, I'm forced to think that, cause you definitely set me straight with yo menial reply.!

Never seen where someone could type soo much , yet convey soo little..and such redundancy can only be compared to, a Dog chasing after hiz own tail..not havin the aptitude to understand they are 1 in the same..

You used the werd "when" kNuCkLeHeAd ,which iz exactly the werd I used in describing itz function..!! only yo comical attempt to ridicule my post, haz obviously been influenced by that proverbial Cosmopolitan adult beverage called a "KY Floyd".. too much KY Bourbon & NY Ocean Flood Water..az some folk, kain't handle their own liquor....So, STOP drinkin & thinkin..

Naah GIT GOOONE

the probability is equal only for one event, now a sequence of 20 events the thing changes, patterns appear, so event repetition is the secret of probabilities

proof of this in the post above, is the gauss curve, that is, close to the median there is an event forecast

How does the lottery corporation know I was predicting the lottery?

I suppose that you bought one or more tickets.
Nobody knows how much YOU LOST when playing!
Maybe YOU played ONLINE and they KNOW YOU!
Thank you. You are not ANONYMOUSE.
