Alright, now that the One Hit Wonder Chart is here, you might be wondering yourself. What is it and what do I do with it?

'What is it?' is easy. It's a single combo for that day's draw and is derived with the same method used in the JADE Pick 3 Pick 4 Selector program by using the past few draws to come up with the combo. This one combo is special though; each digit position is important in determining what the next real draw is and isn't. This leads to the 'What do I do with it?" question.

Each digit position is designed to be useful in determining the next draw outcome. There are a set of possible matches that can help determine what kind of play you'd like to work with. One is the obvious 'exact' or 'straight' match; this is just the one combo all by itself. The others are when some or none of the positions are matching.

We'll use the Pick 3 as an example. Let's say the One Hit Combo for that day's draw is 1 2 3. Now, there are some things to look for, one is position and the other is the missing position. In the case of 1 2 3, in exact position, either all three the numbers are drawn, any two of the numbers are drawn, any one of the numbers are drawn, or none of the numbers are drawn for that day's draw. This would look something like the following:

1 2 3

X 2 3 - 1 X 3 - 1 2 X

X X 3 - X 2 X - 1 X X

X X X

X is a don't care number, but it's important to understand that X cannot have any of the One Hit Wonder numbers in those positions. If we look at the first position with the 1, either 1 hits or it doesn't. If it doesn't then it must be a number other than 1; they are 0 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 for the first position only. You can use the One Hit Wonder Chart to either include a particular position or exclude it.

In each of the above cases, there are a set number of combos that can be found. Below are the don't care possible combos for each don't care case.

1 2 3 - 1 combo

X 2 3 - 9 combos, 1 X 3 - 9 combos, 1 2 X - 9 combos

X X 3 - 81 combos, X 2 X - 81 combos, 1 X X - 81 combos

X X X - 729 combos

With the X X X case, it could be used like a filter to limit your picks to a set range of X X X combos.

With the X 2 3, 1 X 3, 1 2 X cases, you could chose to play all 27 possibilities for those don't care cases. They would be the following for this example:

X 2 3 - 1 X 3 - 1 2 X
--------------------
0 2 3 - 1 0 3 - 1 2 0
2 2 3 - 1 1 3 - 1 2 1
3 2 3 - 1 3 3 - 1 2 2
4 2 3 - 1 4 3 - 1 2 4
5 2 3 - 1 5 3 - 1 2 5
6 2 3 - 1 6 3 - 1 2 6
7 2 3 - 1 7 3 - 1 2 7
8 2 3 - 1 8 3 - 1 2 8
9 2 3 - 1 9 3 - 1 2 9

For the X X 3, X 2 X, and 1 X X cases it would be the same and would have 243 total combos, but keep this in mind, these were meant to be played as a straight for a straight win. If you are going for the lesser win, you can play as a box as well, but look for the combo reduction before playing to optimize your plays.
