The list of 5 unique digits can be boiled down to 252 combos. I can count the hits with permutations. This gives a handful of combos that have hit more than others. Each combo has itself and 119 permutations... so, if picking one, which is the right way to play it straight?... the one out of 120...

Perhaps super simple is the way to go... get a digit count for each column and play the combo in question that has the most probable chance of coming out in that order... would not have to leave the spreadsheet for that one...

Might be worth a shot. Looking to update the sheets and give it a test next week. Dropping the pick 3 after 10/31's draw.
