Along with the odds of 1:1000, the Lowest Statistical Average for triples is 1 hit every 100 drawings.

Assuming a 1-in-1000 chance of the number coming up in any given drawing, with 2 drawings every day, there's about a 1-in-9 chance of the number never coming up in a three year period.

Hopefully 999 will come soon in pick 3 instead of pick 4. I had played $7 worth when 2999 was drawn.

I agree however triples or quads are easier to think about. Remember that article you had about all those people winning in SC on 2222 i think it was?? Not that it has any better chance of winning but it is tracked by more people. Maybe this could indicate a methodology where you take numbers that have a similar hit and skip range like triples taken in groups of 10. Probably already thought of ,back tested and either proved not to be of much use or no one is saying anything

Every Pick 3 straight combination has exactly the same odds of winning: 1 in 1,000. Triples are not harder or easier to win that any other straight Pick 3 combination.

According to the NC Lottery website, 999 has been drawn 6 times since July 15, 2010. There are 3572 days between July 15, 2010 and today, and with two daily drawings, that's 7144 drawings. The theoretical odds of 999 being draw are 1 in 1000, and the actual frequency based on the available data is 1 in 1191. The actual frequency is not far off from the expected frequency, so you shouldn't be concerned the nines have gone missing.

Maybe today is the day 999 will make its glorious return. Good... [ More ]

There are 10 balls, 0 thru 9.

Odds of any number being drawn are 1 in 1000. It's hard to ride a certain number, especially a triple. Sometimes it will fall quicker, sometimes not.
