Thinking about the wait on wins for the pick 3 brings up another option... the Match 6. 

If it were played in 7 draw increments, it would cost the same as the pick 3, $14 per week... a window of 28 days is just playing the same combo 4 weeks in a row. Sure the Quick Pick lines would change each week, but it fits the budget perfectly... park the pick 3 attempt for 4 weeks... if only the lower tier prizes were better...

As I approach the halfway point of week 9, It is getting a bit dull seeing the same thing week after week.

It will take a bit of time to convert the script for the 6/49 game, but it might be a welcome change up. I can still paper play the pick 3 for those 4 weeks to keep trying to refine the process. This will force my lazy self to finish the Cash 4 Life variant that I can not seem to find the motivation to do.
