• The stats faithfully follow mathematics, namely the Fundamental Formula of Gambling (FFG) and Ion Saliu's Paradox.
• If you play one favorite number or one random number continuously for a large number of draws, the best you expect is break-even. In this case, the pick 3 combinations 2 4 6 and 2 9 3 fit the bill. Two other pick 3 numbers result in a loss of over 9500 dollars: 3 1 0 and 3 9 8.
• The middle of the report — line #500 — shows 9 hits, as it is the probability norm. If playing one favorite number or one random number continuously for a large number of drawings, the expectation is a loss according to the house edge. In the pick-3 case, the expected loss is total cost of play divided by 2 (the house advantage is 50%). In the case reflected in this report: 9500+ / 2 = 4500+.
• We define a large number of drawings as a number of trials at least 10 times total amount of cases (possibilities). In the pick-3 lottery game, it is 10 * 1000 or 10,000 drawings. That's when only a very low percentage of players (0.3% as calculated by the normal probability rule) expect a break-even case-scenario. The vast majority of players expect losses. The average loss is the house edge percentage multiplied by total cost.
• If one played 10,000 dollars (1 pick 3 number in 10,000 lottery drawings), the average loss amounts to 5000 dollars. Perhaps the lottery balls have not only memory, but also minds — they know accurately when to come out, and how many times! Them numbered balls never get wrong and make the majority of players win double the amount they paid for the tickets, for example. You can take it to the bank, as it were.
• That's why lottery strategies are so important. Many trends develop in statistical series and strategies take advantage of trends. Only specialized software can detect favorable trends and generate a reduced amount of combinations to play selectively (by skipping lottery drawings). At this time in history (2017), there are only two capable applications: Bright / Ultimate software packages.

You can see the pick-3 straight sets displayed horizontally, on one line, from the most frequent to the least frequent. Some lottery players check every drawing to see what group the winning number came from (e.g. 1/3 hottest, 1/3 mild, one-third coldest).
