Pick 4 has two flavors of doubles.

1 double AABC, ABBC, ABCC, a.k.a. the 12-Way Box.

2 doubles AABB, a.k.a. the 6-Way Box.

Are you looking for 1, 2 or both

Really? Both p3 and p4 lottery questions were up for general lottery discussion. It did attract some very bright input in a general discussion about stats and probability.

Should have started off with Happy Birthday.

Google for binomial probability calculator, I use StatTrek. The probability of back to back doubles is as follows or 7.29%

To calculate 3 in a row enter number of trials as 3 and number of successes as 3. Repeat for 4 and so on.

There are around 100 doubles a year that hit in an average pick 3 lottery game.

How many times are doubles hitting back to back on average? Isn't it around every 4th double on average?

How often will they average hitting more than that in a row? 3 in a row? 4 in a row ?

It would be a big help to put some specific numbers on this.

Pick 4 doubles seem to hit about half the time. How can we figure those same back to back and in a row averages there
