  IL. recently went to RNG and doesn't currently provide the number of winners for it's pick three and pick four games. Is this common in states using RNG?

  I never  know what Illinois pay out on a number, or how many winners win on a certain number.

  One day, I asked the clerk if she knew, she only could tell me what was sold or paid at that store?

  I can't remember what she told me.

   

  Maybe, since they are RNG, that information will be available?

   

  Good question.

  Missouri pick 3, giving out humble pies!

  fast eddie,
  
  Pick 3 /4 are at the bottom of the page:
  
  Missouri, Oct 8
  http://www.molottery.com/numbers/prizes_paid.jsp#p3

  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.

  thanks coin toss,  i see in MO. that four pick four the winners listed are like 3 straight winners and 50 to 100 box winners. I know RNG is suppose to be

  random but maybe it looks for a number that has a lot of play and picks the least straight version of that number and picks that number. but just guessing at this

  point. since i can't see the number of winners here in IL. maybe i'll box a number for like $20 bucks and hope they pull it.

  fast eddie,
  
  Maybe it's just that not that many people play straight and a lot more play box. I don't think Illinois has ever put a winners list like that on their website.
  
  Usually I play straight box.
  
  I like the 1-off in Missouri, an occasional bone.
  
  I'm sure MzDuffleBaglady kniows way more about that than I do.
