Jeepers! After I posted congrats and stuff, I went and looked at my worksheet and 863 is right there. And it's from that "different workup" I made reference to above. This is kind of a big deal so bear with me for a moment and I'll show you something that has NEVER happened before in all the time I've been fooling with these numbers.
This is so shocking, it's worth seeing it for yourself. Here's a link to a website that allows you to search 2 billion digits of the trancendental numbers.
Copy the previous 9 digits from the Virginia lottery and paste them into the search box on that site. Here are the digits to copy: 250991759
Then check the little checkbox in front of "Sqr Root 2." This means you are searching the first 2 billion digits of the square root of 2 for the past nine digits from the Virginia Pick 3.
The first result isn't the one we are looking for. So, look down at the bottom of the page, where it says, "Find the next occurrence of 250991759 in the Square Root of 2," click on that "next" and hold on to your hat. This is what you get:
Results:
The numeric string 250991759 appears at the 977,452,796th decimal digit of the Square Root of 2.

The next three digits, 863, are the next three digits that actually fell in the Pick 3 today. That's 12 digits in order straight from the trancendentals in the Virginia Pick 3. That's something I've been looking for at least 15 years.
Holy Crazy Coincidence, Batman!!!
