Just a word of thanks to winsumloosesum for tracking down some errors and missing results in our results history!

This is incredibly generous and helpful to not only Lottery Post, but the entire membership that relies on past history for analysis.

The missing results and errors were mainly from the late 1990s and early 2000s, during a period that we relied on a certain company to provide our lottery results. They were incredibly error-prone, and in fact their incompetence was the reason that I personally went through the tremendous difficulty back then of creating my own lottery results service that would collect the winning numbers.

I must have corrected 1,000 different errors during that time from the feed they were sending, and fortunately winsumloosesum was diligent in tracking down and finding some that I must have missed. It can be very tedious to do, so his efforts are greatly appreciated.

The corrected results include:
- Wisconsin Pick 3, which had 3 duplicate entries marked as Double Draws. They have been deleted.
- Western Canada Pick 3, which had 3 drawings missing from 1997-1998.
- Connecticut Pick 3 Midday, which had 5 drawings with the incorrect numbers from 2002-2003.
- Connecticut Pick 3 Evening, which had 8 drawings with the incorrect numbers from 2002-2004.
- Illinois Pick 3, which had 7 Double Draw extra drawings missing in Dec. 2009 (5 Evening, and 2 Midday), and had one missing drawing in Feb., 1983.
UPDATE

Some more corrections/additions by winsumloosesum, this time for Kansas!

I made a post below that documents all the results we are still looking for, in case anyone has access to them. This was a topic we tried nailing down several years ago, but there are still a few holes left to fill.

UPDATE 2

Thank you winsumloosesum for filling in the gaps for Missouri Pick 3, back to the game's inception!

July 25 2009 Evening Draw

July 21 2009 Midday Draw

July 20 2009 Midday Draw

August 2 009 Midday Draw

Yes, those are definitely correct entries at Lottery Post (I made them myself), and it was a legit promotion. Below is a screengrab from a promotional video at the time. Many times lotteries neglect to include bonus draws in their drawing histories.

Here is Lottery Post's news story from 2009: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/198232

This topic has given me some new energy on finding old results — and I managed to track down the official Oregon Megabucks results back to the first drawing on 11/30/1985! The results will be published later today. Edit: results published.

Another update: Prior to 2/18/2002, Super Kansas Cash was a different game format, so we already have complete history. (Scratched off the list!)

Good to know.

Thank you for the update.

Maryland Pick 3 was difficult to check.

Click the "Winning Numbers" under the Main Header

Click the drop down arrow under the Historical Winning Numbers

1976 through 2002 are all available for those who need to check you results.

Good Luck!!

I just went to the link you posted and looked up the Bonus Match 5 drawings for the dates
- Maryland Bonus Match 5: missing results between 10/10/1991 and 9/17/1995. https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/357163/8029642
It looks like the missing draws are the result of a change of format. When the game started on Oct 10,1991 it was called Match 5 and the drawings were held on Sun-Tues-Thu. Then on Sept 20,1992 they changed the draws to 5 days a week. Sun-Mon-Tues-Thu-Fri.

Then on Sept 17,1995 they changed the game format to Bonus Match 5. This is when they added the Bonus Ball. At this time they changed to a 7 days a week drawing schedule. I hope this solves the mystery of the missing draw results.
List Pick 3 singles by low sums, high sums. Separate each sum row by consecutive pair and non consecutive pair combos. These 3 pair groups. 14 17 47, 25 28 58, 36 39 69 are in 63 combos. 54 combos do not have them. Which sums do the 3 pair groups appear and not appear? Look at root sum groups 147, 258, 369. Play accordingly.

The Bonus Match 5 continued until Jan 18,1998 when it was replaced by the Cash In Hand game on Jan 23, 1998.

The Bonus Match 5 then restarted on Feb 4, 2002. The Cash In Hand game ended on Sept 14, 2002.

That's good info, I'll probably include in the game's notes.

I completely agree. I'm really stuck on the remaining results however.

The Canadian lotteries have been especially difficult for me to try and work with. They seem very disinterested in tracking down old winning numbers in their organizations. If we had some Canadian members reach out to the lotteries to seek the results we're missing, maybe that would help.
