same exact pick 3 numbers played in the exact same order, for eve and night what are the odds?
So for Tuesday 8/22/23 Georgia pick 3 numbers for the evening draw are 858, and for the night? 858, what are the odds of that happening, I would think it's very high .

Arithmetic Complexity in Texas All or NothingReply
There is a miscalculation in the odds to win. Based on a play line-by-play line basis, there are two opportunities to win a prize. For example, to win the top prize of $250,000, in one play line there are two opportunities to win $250,000, either match 0 or 12. This changes the odds from 1 : 2,704,155.00 individually to 1 : 1,352,077.00 overall to win the top prize of $250,000. Likewise, all the other prize amount odds are different as shown below. Here's a break down of the

Improved odds of a 5W Powerball win, or coincidence?
I've discovered a relationship in the Powerball draws which improves the odds of a 5 white ball hit by a factor of 35.7. 69 choose 5 = 11,238,513, so the odds of a 5W hit are 1 in 11,238,513, assuming the balls are equally likely to be picked. The relationship in past draws reduces the odds to 1 in 314,432 Still a long shot, but much improved. Standard statistical analysis will not sift out this 5W signal. I discovered it with exhaustive search. Could this relationship just b

Odds Question
If a game has odds of 1 in 4.72, and you lose 20 times in a row, would the equation be: (1/4.72)^20= Answer: 3.3201678e-14 ? Also, if the odds remain the same, how would you set up two 20 loss in a row streaks having played 240 total times? Regards

Box odds questionReply
Of course for a straight hit the odds are 1 in 10,000, but we are talking about people who actually play pick 4. Box odds are not the same, I actually prefer to play 50/50 and for my 4538 pick in Maryland I at least get $100 for a box hit, and if I beat the 1/24 odds I also get $2500. You can always play a combo if your state has it. But a $1 combo will cost your $24 if it is a 24 way number.

Box odds question
In Pick 4 there are 715 different box combinations 210 singles (ex: 1234) 360 doubles (ex: 1123) 45 Double Pairs (Ex: 1122) 90 Triples (Ex: 1112) 10 Quads (Ex: 1111) My question is, if I'm playing just 2 boxes, say 1122 and 1234, then do they both have the same 1/715 box odds? Or is the double pair combo odds different since its type of combination has 45 boxes while the other has 210?

Box odds questionReply
it seems to me that you understand how to figure the odds, and the underlying question is how close will the actual drawing match the mathematical odds. my answer is fairly close over time, but about useless for what will happen in the next drawing. when you see under or over performing groups it may be your definition of the groups or it may be just random being a bit random. think of this as a very rough pointer at best. you say these numbers are based on 17000 drawings. if you only use 1000 d
