This is their reason: Pre-tests are conducted to ensure the drawing machines are functioning correctly and the balls are being selected in a random fashion. The testing of the machines utilize two selection options, remote control selection and manual selection. Pick 3 requires 4 pre-tests. If no ball is selected 4 times, in the same chamber, the ball set and machine passes the pre-test.

THEY say to make sure the machines, ball sets, etc are working correctly.I think it's to make sure we (the players) can't fore-guess the outcome. Since we don't go from 1 drawing to another, (because there's 4 drawings in between + 8 ball sets) most programs/systems don't have a chance of predicting the outcome.I wonder if TEXAS is the ONLY state that does so many preliminary drawings. Does anyone else know if their state does this?I think it's a rotten deal.Thanksp.s. AND I HOPE THE TLC IS... [ More ]

I noticed in your pre-test numbers for 12/8/2004 when the 200 hit Wednesday night for Texas. We picked up the 218 boxed Thursday night which was right above the 200. Will you be giving us some new numbers for today and Saturday for Texas?Thanks!Pick3Queen-Texas

Sorry, I had the rows a lot smaller, but couldn't figure out how to do it on here.TLC is using 8 ball sets, here are the ones used for this week, Mon-Wed...day and night included. They rotate them (or, choose which ever they want) constantly. They are currently using this sets:A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8By the time WE get the results, they have drawn 4 times....WE get # 5 as the final numbers (the Yellow high-lighted set). Bummer!As you can see, they make no destinction between day and night... [ More ]
