bmehmet interesting statistic, I asked chat GPT to run a sample of 500 random draws and come up with the staistics of whenever there is a 3 digit unique number, where all 3 digits are unique (example: 234), how often does one of those digits repeat on the very next draw. The answer:
Here’s what happened after simulating 500 Pick 3 draws and checking consecutive pairs (only when the first draw had 3 unique digits):
Total qualifying pairs checked: 364
At least 1 digit repeated: 249
Repeat rate: 68.4%
Breakdown of repeats:
0 digits repeated → 115 times
1 digit repeated → 193 times
2 digits repeated → 54 times
3 digits repeated → 2 times
👉 So nearly 7 out of 10 times, the next draw shares at least one digit with the previous draw when the previous draw is all-unique.
Nearly 70% of the time, the next draw contains at least 1 of the previous draws numbers. Could be a good method.... reduce all 3 digit numbers that do not contain at least one of the previous draws digits.
