Blackapple what am I missing? there are 10 possible outcomes for each draw. by selecting 4 of those at random I should have a 40% chance of being right on each draw. so over 7 draws you would really have to have bad luck not to be right at least once. I'm curious where this is headed, so KY 0,1,2,3. although it may not appear so, this is a considered choice.
The average rate of reoccurrence is n/r; where n is the total possible set of occurrences and r is the subset of n total possible occurrences.
For 3 short sums that's n = 1000 and r = 300, n/r = 1000/300 = 3.3333...; so, any combination of 3 short sums should on average reoccur once every 3.333... draws.
A 4 short sum should be n = 1000 and r = 400, n/r = 1000/400 = 2.5; so, any combination of 4 short sums should reoccur once every 2.5 draws.

Blackapple,
If you're suggesting playing any of these rows for 7 days I'd say that's not for the average player:

Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.
There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

Blackapple,
My goof, 7 draws not 7 days, but that's still a lot of $$$ to throw at a Pick 3 for a lot of people.
To paraphrase an old casino saying I think most lottery players want to 'turn a toothpick into a lumberyard', a different appriach let's say.
