This an old post but I just now came across it. The probability of guessing one boxed pair is 56 in 1,000 or 5.6%. The 50% median is 12.02773 games...meaning that theres a lilttle better than a 50% chance that when you see that boxed pair hit, it will hit again within 13 games. Of course, that probability is for a no-match boxed pair (two different digits).

A double digit boxed pair has a probability of 28 in 1,000 or 2.8%, which gives it a median of about 25 games.

No math genius but here goes:

What is the percentage or probability of picking 1 boxed pair from one Pick 3 drawing?

Do you mean the P of picking a correct --ie drawn --pair?

1. It's still 1/55!

2. Good question about skips--Remember any one draw utilizes 3 pairs. In 19 draws the full universe of pairs could be potentially drawn! I would start on the 20th game.

3. At this point pairs skips should be compared to digit skips for more effective tracking.

Interesting observa... [ More ]

Are you talking about Pick 3, Pick 4, or both

Steve, I found this post about pairs made by Thoth. Maybe it's a start.

Ok, math geniuses out there in LP Land I know your out there!!

Here is my question:

In a Pick 3 game there are 3 Pairs

1. Front Pair

2. Back Pair

3. Side Pair

There are a total of 100 Pairs (00 through 99)

In boxed form there are a total of 55.

So, in any Pick 3 drawing you have 3 chances of picking 1 correct boxed pair from a bag of 55 balls.

What is the percentage or probability of picking 1 boxed pair from one Pick 3 drawing?
