There are websites here in the US that allow you to play in other states besides your own, although I just stick to my own state.

Yes! And how would you be able to make that prediction? With data and tools like radar and satellite imagery correct? The same is true with this game we play. If we use the data we have and make the science work for us ... oh the possibilities.

But I understand your skepticism.

I was hoping to pick up a trick or two with this thread but none was there.

That's all guys. Thanks for the views and replies. Have great week.

Do any of those states allow winners to claim anonymously?

That's how I'd make my decision as to where to play. Although, I believe the original post had to do with Pick 3 and Pick 4 numbers, which I never play, and those jackpots aren't big enough to worry about going public.

284 drops as either [ 248 or 428 or 284 ] - small numbers in front

428 Day time Kentucky, Sunday November 1st.

- Dropped in the day time (day bias) as expected

- Dropped with the small number in front (day time characteristic) as expected

- Dropped in 1/2 days as expected

The probability, the math, the statistics is solid and repeatable. But to make it work, we need to move the probability in our favor.

Today draws changed the prediction for evening draws on the 284.

284 drops as either [ 248 or 428 or 284 ] - small numbers in front

Update:

284 drops as either [ 842 or 824 or 482 ] - big numbers in front

Stats hasn't changed still looking at a 22.78% Late Night draw (9PM-1130PM) or an 11.24% Early Evening draw (6PM-8PM

You can play out of state, you may live on the border, travel business/pleasure, vacation. To me the problem is taxes. Out of state they will automatically take that state and federal taxes. Then come tax time you'll have to claim it as income in your home state.

The 472 dropped yesterday (as expected), in the day time (as expected), with the big numbers in front (as expected). In Math and Science, something needs to be repeatable and reproducible to be deemed as creditable, so let's test it again with another family of numbers for today.

Let's go with 283, 284, 287. The data shows:

283 drops as either [ 832 or 382 or 823 ] - big numbers in front

284 drops as either [ 248 or 428 or 284 ] - small numbers in front

287 drops as either [ 872... [ More ]

There's lots of people that live on the border of 2 states or even 3 states that can buy lottery tickets from multiple states simply by just walking across the border.

It isn't really. It's just math and data.

Here, let's test it with these numbers: 147, 247, 347 (family)

147 drops as either [ 741 or 471 or 714 ] - big numbers in front

247 drops as either [ 742 or 472 or 724 ] - big numbers in front - this may also come as 247 because of its recent draw history

347 drops as either [ 347 or 374 or 437 ] - small numbers in front

Players have tricks. And it won't necessarily get around if you don't tell anyone. You may feel free to share your numbers, but not how you came up with the numbers.

I have a trick that tells me the most likely way a number will fall. For example, if the number I'm playing today is 247, I know that it most likely will come with the big numbers in front, so it'll draw as 742 or 472. 247 is like a default, it'll come like that based on the last time the number dropped. And if I pair that numb... [ More ]

If there was a trick, word would get around and the system would collapse. Statistical variance creates a mirage. It's not real.

Smart move, but that's money management. When you do play, where did that number come from? Do you have a trick up your sleeve that works some (or most) of the time

The Pick 3 and Pick 4 are very popular games and so many dedicated daily players, there has to be something drawing you back to the game day after day.

Let's assume that there are tools, apps, strategies, etc that can give players an edge. They can be tested on the Lottery Post predictions board without risking any money. Also, backtesting can be done by looking at draw histories without any risk. Once something is found that actually gives an advantage, it can be played with real money in a real drawing in a real game. Voila

I like that quote every ticket is a winning ticket until after the draw . Nice.

So, we play casually. Not everyday, not every draw, but when we do play, we play smart. Forget the birthdays, the anniversaries, and that random number we saw 3 times on the way to work and use the tools, the apps, the strategies that are available to help tip the odds in our favor.

What are those tools, apps, and strategies being used and how are we measuring the success of said strategies

Here's my take and I've been on and off this wagon for years now testing testing testing and the only conclusion that i've drawn is every ticket is a winning ticket until after the draw. These games are designed for us to lose. Yea you may hit a lucky streak but in the long run its all for naught. In simple terms they're what I'd call The Ultimate Guessing Games You win some and you lose some.

Dat is It

bbbngowc — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 03:23:38 GMT

Cool.

So back to the original question; due to the restrictions in playing in one (maybe 2 or 3) states, what's your best strategy for navigating Pick 3/4 and how are you measuring it's success?

I've looked at rundowns, +/-1, hot and cold numbers, neither of them are impressive. So what's your silver bullet

Gambler's fallacy is not blah blah blah , it is a real mistake in logic. There is no strategy that will change the odds of winning for any particular type of bet in a game with fair and independent drawings.

You could place more bets, or bet on a box rather than a straight, to improve your chances of winning, but that comes at a cost (more money up front or less money won).

Ultimately the house wins, but there must be something that keeps the people coming back.

Anyone can win, but it takes having the tools or strategy to break the probability just enough so it's in your favor. One or two solid wins a month...worth it. I can show you a statistic with a win rate of 77.92%, but without divulging the setup in detail, it won't make sense as to how this is being accomplished, but it's proven, I have the evidence.

In this case, a win simply means the number predicted came. Not predicting a straight or box.

What keeps people coming back, is the very few who win. Everyone else thinks that could be me. My jackpot win is just around the corner. Probability says, not likely to be you, friend. There is no system to give you a statistical edge in the lottery. Fun fantasy but not real.

Ultimately the house wins, but there must be something that keeps the people coming back. No one is playing and losing for the thrill. I get it's the action, you may not be able to beat the odds completely, but you can incorporate a strategy to reduce them and put the probability more in your corner. Yes, I know, Gambler's fallacy...blah blah..blah.. an impressive strategy would be an awesome tool in your bag of tricks.

I know in some places (countries) and websites, someone can play pick 3/4 in all US, Canada and Caribbean states. But in the US, you're limited to playing in just your state. What's your best strategy for playing in your state and how do you measure its success? Just throw a ton of numbers and hope for a win? The probability is against you in that scenario unless you can play a significant amount of numbers, then the probability drops.
