To Kp2O3, The probability of remaining not drawn for Pick 3 must be 0.999^n and for a digit it is 0.9^n, in which n=number of draws. Thus there is no absolute probability for either case. But when the calculated number approaches zero it is practically certain that all numbers have been drawn. Bertil

I think the ball sets are only cosmetic, and have absolutely nothing to do with the price of tea in China. The pick-3 game is all about EBB and FLOW. Sometimes a few digits will hit more often than others, but then those digits ALWAYS peter out and the others gain dominance.Peter C. kp@gate.net

I think I can offer some thoughts on your questions.Some digits,3 for example may hit 10 times in a 3 week period while the digit 1 has not hit once.Although the balls are supposed to be exactly the same,there are allways some balls that dominate a particular states lottery.I understand some states may make a ball change and that will change which balls dominate.I say there are definite characturistics related to each individual ball and that affects the draws.In a lottery where somehow all the

Im not sure if anyone has heard of Ion Saliu or been to his site, but this makes for some interesting reading in regards to this thread, the lottery, and number selection. I use his software, it's a bit complicated and not for everyone but he hits on some very interesting points. It's worth the read.http://www.saliu.com/Saliu2.htm

This may be the machinist in me talking, but the way I have always understood Tolerance is the accepted deviation from an expected, known result or standard.For example, you have a complex part you are machining that will get shipped to a customer to go into a larger assembly... They will provide you with a blueprint, on that blueprint is a Tolerance block, for example, if tey call out a feature to be .045 , the tolerance will either be explicit (ex. .045 +/- .005 ) or implicit (requiring yo...

Probability rules this thread, not odds or possibilities. The odds of a given number appearing in any draw is 1::1,000. But the odds of any numnber appearing twice will be 1::1 after somewhere between 300 and 400 draws - if one is interested I'll work the math out to a more exact number. But this means that in 1,000 consecutive draws, at least one three-digit number will NOT appear, since a duplicate draw has occurred. In actuality, in 1,000 consecutive draws, the probability is that one straigh... [ More ]

Actuallly the Texas Pick 3 isnt young at all.....been around over 10 years. I just dont have my positional tracking set up to go back further then 10-3-2003 as I find the information immaterial for the manner in which I track the digits. I tend to track in the here and now rather then the past and dont spend my time on percentage's and other stastics to determine what is going to play next.We dont have the ability to win according to pairs such as front-back-ends so that aspect is of no...

Sorry...this is just a continuation of the last post..., There have been, PROBABLY, thousand's of books and system's written about the lottery and when it gets down to the 'Meat and Potatoes of each one they mostly deal with AVERAGING in one form or another no matter how complicated they get. Just pick a number of the most recent draws (I, myself, have had the most LUCK with 20), see how many times each number was in a particular position and then play the averages.

Hey KP, how's it going? I think that you are trying to get too complicated. I don't know if this will help you or not, but here goes...Anything IS possible...it's POSSIBLE that the sun will not come up tomorrow, but not probable. But, when you are dealing with a finite number of objects, in this case the numbers 0 thru 9 in positions A, B, or C, all you have to be concerened with is the law of averages. And that can best be described, in my own simplistic way, as given that ALL things are equal... [ More ]

To figure out what it is you are looking to hit in Florida..do a back check ..count the double hits in the previous months..take an average of them..and for next month..figure that u will get 1 and 1/2 times---2 as many doubles as u have not had this month..Also in your counting..try to list the double hits for example 11, 22, 33, etc..and take note of when they appeared last and HOW ex..224, 242, 422. When u are playing your doubles, use your list...the longest double pairs out should be your

In Indiana, there are 288 straight Pick-3 numbers that haven't been drawn since 1999. That means almost 30% of the field has essentially been eliminated from the game.Now, we all know why this is happening in Indiana, so how does this relate to Kp2o3's question about Florida?OKay, it doesn't have anything to do with Florida, but I wanted to get that off my chest, because this still bugs me.Kp2o3, The situation you describe can be easily monitored with a simple hit/ skip chart.

The stats for Georgia are basically the same as listed above for KY.25 draws is the max out for doubles, average is 3.6 draws, Median is 3 draws....BobDo not have complete draw data for any other State.

Just checked the Doubles stats for KY, Ky once went 25 without drawing a double. There were several instances of 21 to 23 draws without a double being drawnThe average between doubles for KY is 3.5 draws, with a Median of 3 draws. Hope this helps ! Bob

All that I can say, is that it's possible for a particular pick 3 number to never be drawn, or to take 10 or more years before it comes out for the very first time.

Has anyone here ever researched tolerences ? I'd like to colaborate with someone who has done some work in this area. I find it very interesting.By tolerence I mean... for example:Is it possible for a 3-digit number NEVER to apear in a states' Pick-3? I'm almost sure the answer to this question is NO. In time I think ALL 3-digit numbers MUST be drawn, even if it takes 100 years or perhaps 1,000 years, or even 10,000 years. Am I correct?Another example might be this: (and here's where I need...
