hmmmm, it really isn't much when it comes to numbers,some people make it more difficult than it has to be. If you know how to read numbers,then you will know what numbers replace one another. It is always a pattern to any given number. Anytime an 01* pair comes out,back to back dbls follow. Trying to focus on hundreds of numbers,will give anyone a headache. Hypothetically speaking, limit your numbers,that way you will have a better chance of winning as well as receiving a bigger payout by puttin... [ More ]

Calculating in advance of all 18 draws, it's pretty unusual. The odds that 500 of 1000 numbers will not appear over an 18-draw span is about 3.815 x 10^-5, or about 3.8 thousandths of 1 percent.

A single three-digit play has a 50% chance of being drawn over 693 draws, and a 75% chance of being drawn over 1386 draws.

I forgot to update one of my sheets last night.

The third spot is out 13 draws for the 5 7 or 9 in S.C.

Edited here again

I lost my software in a crash. Now if I had my software I could give stats on the 5 7 or 9 going back any time frame of tracking.

As of Sat 2/9 @ 10:21 hours the 5 7 or 9 has not appeared in any position In S.C. in the past 8 draws.

The first and second spot are out 8 draws for the 5 7 or 9

The third spot is out 11 draws for the 5 7 or 9

Edited again

That is an elimination of 7 numbers by any position. But which one.

Here's an old page from my blog many years ago. Odds don't change but probability does.

Probability formula for independent events

Mood:

Now Playing:

/ The Multiplication Rule for Independent Events

The Multiplication Rule for d>Independent Events states that if several events, A1, A2, ..., An, are independent, then P(A1 A2 ... An) = P(A1) * P(A2) * ... * P(An).

What does this mean? 50/50

Applied to coins, A1... [ More ]

I guess the pick should have came from the 500 missing number pool for today.. I think that the the other 4 you said had not played will not come in as quick... thanks

I don't play pick3 games but if I could calculate the odds that 5 numbers would not appear in a particular position for a period of time I would be playing because if I was right only half the time I could make money.

Pick3 is the combined random outcomes of 3 events that have 10 possible outcomes which equal 1000 possible out comes together. Eliminating 5 of those outcomes for each event would reduce the total possible outcomes to 125 instead of 1000 and covering those 125 outcomes would pay... [ More ]

OK... It finally hit Straight as 1xx or 179 today !

Pretty hard to hide 500 numbers very long.... normally.

I'll bet Ga Lottery thanks their Lucky Stars that they don't use computer draws when things like this happen.

LOL ....... blcmjfq, I wonder if my wins would actually go up by 50% too .. ! Much better odds.

They might use that on their next big deal promotion... instead of 20% better payout... just subtract 20% of the numbers.

Pick 3 outa' 1000 .... #800.

Maybe that wouldn't be such a good idea for the ga. lottery..When folks saw they still couldn't win anything that way either... they might stop playing. LOL

another way to look at this is now instead of watching for 1 in 1000 numbers you only need to look at 1 in 500 numbers. go figure

Maybe it is the bonus issues no 2xx,xxx.00 or above can be assumed good for the lottey personnel community.

Just thinking out loud.

Try to Calculate the odds of a particular or specific set of numbers not showing up within a certain time frame.

Special attention on the specific.

Hi RJOH... How are you ? Needed to say that.... at least every 4 or 5 years that go by anyway. LOL

There are 1000 straight possible combinations of threes, what's so unusual about 500 of them not showing up in 18 drawings

Look at this and calculate the Odds...

WIN D — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 16:28:54 GMT

Figure this.....

In the past 18 draws no drawn number has started with any of these digits below. ..and it could go even further after today. Maybe the most ugly Pick 3 stat I've ever seen.

1xx

2xx

3xx = 500 numbers !

4xx

9xx
