PICK 3 DAY DRAW (12/31/2004)

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
394. Are you kidding me? 2 repeating numbers for the 3rd day in a row! And I thought 2 days in a row was bad enough. And, these 3 numbers were just picked together on Dec 17th as 934. There are no redeeming qualities in this pick whatsoever. The Texas Lottery Comission should take it back and give us another.

Again, we'll just go all out for the last Day drawing of the year tomorrow. Here's hoping you have a Happy New Year with the picks 674, 568, 063, 261, 610, 069, 652, 618, 607, and 663. And a couple of odd double with an odd number alternates, 557 and 559.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (12/30/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
413 included the 6th most due non-double pair overall, 13, which was also the 6th most due pair in order in the 2/3 positions. 4 and 2 different numbers was most due and 1 with 2 different numbers was most weighted due. 1 was also most weighted due with an odd number and with 1 even and 1 odd number.

We're going for the gusto to end the year. I've more than doubled the number of picks for tonight's drawing. Those picks are 021, 752, 302, 429, 482, 072, 762, 123, 298, and 293. Good luck and let's hope we end this year with a bang and not a whimper.

Jeff at Texas Lotto Report also has a new pick beginning tonight. The one I like the best is 821. It falls into the scenarios we're playing with the number 2. The 3 number combination was also last picked together on Dec 9th as 182. This is significant because there is a new item I'm trying to track that consists of combinations that are picked together again within 45 days. That parameter seems to average around 4 to 5 drawings, just under 25% of the time, with the overdue number being approximately twice that. That makes this item overdue and his 821 not such a bad pick after all. Another of his favorite picks is 829 which we also have above but as 298.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW (12/30/2004)

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
984, for the second day in a row, included 2 repeating numbers. That's all I've got to say about that!

The numbers will remain essentially the same: 674, 568, 063, and 261. An even double with an odd number is overdue, so I'll throw out 663 as an alternate pick. That pick includes, twice, the most overdue pair in order overall, 63.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (12/29/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
589: The 5 and 9 were the most due numbers in their respective positions, 1st and 3rd. The 3 number combination is now only the 10th such (of 220) to be picked together 9 or more times since day/night drawings began. 8 was my top ranked weighted due number with an odd number, but not very due.

For the reasons mentioned yesterday, tonight's picks will remain (if not in the same order) 210, 690, 230, and with the addition of 470. 067 can still be played as an alternate triple sum repeat. An alternate consecutive number 01 pair pick could be 190. 0 is actually the most due number in the 3rd position, which is why it's probably a good idea to at least play these as "exact/any" plays. We're playing 0 and 1 even and 1 odd, not a double, which actually gives you 20 possible plays. If you decided to go that way, you could play for a few days before hitting the break even point and below.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW (12/29/2004)

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
098 included 2 repeating numbers, 09, from yesterday's drawing and in the exact same positions as yesterday. It also covered the just on average combination of 3 consecutive numbers with 8 9 0.

Numerous combinations are poking their noses into our business. An odd double with an odd number is still due. An all odd 3 different number combination is due and an all even is over average. A triple root sum repeat is also due. Ignoring all that for a change of pace, we'll play 674, 568, 603, and 261. That's 6 with every number except 9, 6 being more due with an even number percentage-wise than any of the above combinations. That is, it's a higher percentage above it's statistical average than they are.

BONUS BALL UPDATE

TEXAS 2 STEP: Last updated on November 19th, a number ending in 2 finally came up last night with the number 2. It was so overdue and still underpicked, I wouldn't doubt that it would come up again soon. The double sums mentioned back then: 7 came up on 12/6 (7), 12/20 (25), and 12/23 (16); 3 came up twice in a row 12/13 and 12/16 with the same number, 21. So you see how an overdue condition can easily come again after waiting so long for it to hit the first time. Currently, a double sum of 4 is due along with any number ending in 4, followed by a number ending in 3 or 8 or any number in the 30s The numbers I see highlighted are 4, 13, 14, 8, 18, 31, 32, and 33.

MEGA MILLIONS: Mentioned on December 11th, numbers ending in 2 came in on 12/14 (2) and 12/21 (12) and numbers ending in 0 came up on the last drawing on 12/24 (10). We're still looking for that double root sum of 5 and a number ending in 6 stands out as due. We should also start getting some higher numbers and especially due are numbers in the 40s. Only 2 of the last 16 bonus balls have been above 30.

TEXAS LOTTO: Mentioned on December 2nd, a double sum of 8 came up on 12/18 (44). That combined with the numbers in the 40s mentioned as due which also came up on 12/22 (43). Still due is any number ending in 1. A double root sum of 3 is most due and I would follow that with the underpicked sum of 1 which is actually 3rd most due. The double sum of 6 would otherwise be 2nd and the double sum of 8 is also still underpicked and therefore always a threat to appear again soon.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (12/28/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
916. Now there's the 1 scenario we were playing and as usual ending up with two tickets with two numbers, covering the way overdue 1 with 1 even and 1 odd number, the overdue 1 with 2 different numbers, and the due 1 with at least 1 odd number. The 19 pair was the 12th most due non-double pair overall. 69 was the 4th most due non-double pair overall and it covered the most overdue double root sum of 6 in the 1/3 positions. The pick was only the 9th combination of 3 numbers (out of 220) to be picked together 9 or more times at night since day/night drawings began.

Our night play will now consist of 0 and at least 1 even, preferably 1 even and 1 odd number. Consecutive numbers are still due so our consecutive number and 01 pair pick will be 021. Our remaining picks will be 069 (most due triple root sum of 6), 302, and 760. 01, 03, 06, 09, and 02 are the 1st, 8th, 8th, 10th, and 17th most due non-double pairs overall respectively.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW (12/28/2004)

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
092 covered the most weighted due 9 with 2 even numbers and we actually had the 29 on two different tickets, but not with the 0. 9 was actually the most due number in the second position and 02 was the 2nd most due pair in order in the 1/3 positions.

Our first pick for tomorrow will remain the all even 608 followed by the all odd 735. About the time an all odd pick starts becoming due, I start thinking about the 3 number combination that hasn't been picked together since day/night drawings began, 137, and think that is always a nice alternate play. Next, we have the triple sum repeat play of 569. And finally, since consecutive numbers are also at average now, our last pick is 465.

441 didn't cover any of the 1 scenarios we were playing. 14 was the 3rd most due non-double pair overall and the triple sum of 9 was the 2nd most due.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW (12/27/2004)

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
We unwrapped a nice $80 with today's pick of 176 and our selection for today of 761. MERRY CHRISTMAS! 67 was, as we mentioned, the most due consecutive pair and the 4th most due non-double pair overall. 17 was the 8th most due pair in order in the 1/2 positions and equaled the most due double sum of 8 in those positions. The 3 number combination of 167 was the 8th most weighted due non-double combination. 6 was overdue with an odd number and most due with 2 different numbers, but is still overdue with an even number and most due with 1 even and 1 odd number.
An all odd pick is becoming due and an all even pick is now over average. We can take one of each for Monday that fit some of our due combinations. 0 is 2nd most due and 8 is 3rd most due with 2 even (or 2 odd) numbers so one pick will also be our triple sum repeat pick of 608. 7 is most due and 9 is most weighted due with 2 odd (or 2 even) numbers so our next pick will remain 579. The remaining two picks will be 926 and 529.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (12/25/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
075 covered the way overdue scenario of 0 and an odd number, just not with the 1 we were playing. 0 and 7 were the most due numbers in the 1st and 2nd positions respectively and 07 was the 7th most due non-double pair overall. 5 was also the most due with an even number. The pick also covered the due double sums of 5 and 3 in the 1/3 and 2/3 positions respectively. And, of course, we had two tickets with two numbers.
Now we can switch our focus to the 1. 1 is most due with 2 different numbers, most due with an odd number, way overdue with 1 odd and 1 even number (0 is actually 2nd), and even 2nd most due with either 2 odd or 2 even numbers (the number 2 is 1st). All of which helps in our first two consecutive number picks (don't forget that they're due), 109 and 213. The last two picks will be 718 and 189. For an alternate and if you still want to play that elusive 01 pair, try 180.

I hope you have had and continue to have a MERRY CHRISTMAS.

67 is the most due consecutive number pair and we'll play that fact along with our picks 627, 761, and 674 (triple sum repeat). 579 will be our odd numbered pick for Christmas day and we hope it will be a merry one.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (12/24/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
637 covered the top basic ranked of 6 due with 2 even or, in this case, 2 odd numbers and 3rd weighted due with 2 different numbers and with at least 1 odd number. 67 was ranked 5th most due non-double pair overall, 8th most due in order overall, and 2nd most due in order in the 1/3 positions.

Gauging when a certain pair is going to come in is harder than judging various combinations or sums, but we'll continue to play the 01 pair thru Christmas (2 more nights) and then concentrate of something else probably more focused on 0 or 1 but not both depending, of course, on what happens the rest of this week. So the picks will remain 130, 109, 017, and 150.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW (12/24/2004)

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
438 included the 2 repeating numbers we were playing on one ticket, 3 and 8. It was even the exact pick we had for Monday's (Dec 20th) day draw. It also equates to the way overdue triple sum of 6 that we have been playing and that we said should come in by Christmas in a post last week. Additionally, 48 was the 2nd most due pair in order overall.
Triple sum 6 should be a decent play for a repeat triple sum so we'll keep one pick, 627. Since 06 is the most due non-double pair overall and 63 the most due pair in order overall, we'll add the picks 631 and 608. An all odd pick is still due also, so we'll add 739 to our list.

0 and 1 are still the focus for the night draw, so our numbers will remain the same: 130, 150, 017, and 109. If you don't want to play the triple sum repeat that is 109, then try 021 or 016.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
038 covered an overdue condition of 3 with either 2 odd or, in this case, 2 even numbers. We had one pick playing the 3 with 2 odd. 03 and 38 were the 2nd and 11th most due non-double pairs overall. 03 was the 6th most due pair in order in the 1/2 positions.

Tomorrow's day picks, concentrating on the number 6 and the overdue triple sum of 6, will be 609, 618, and 627. The 2 repeating number and triple sum repeat pick will be 893.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (12/22/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
683 contained 2 repeating numbers 3 and 8 from the previous drawing that we mentioned as on average. The pick contained two double sum repeats and a due double sum of 9 in the 1/3 positions. 68 was the 4th most due non-double pair overall. It nicely covered our play of the most overdue 6 with 2 different numbers, the most overdue 6 with an even number, the most weighted due 6 with an odd number, and the 3rd (2nd weighted) most due of 6 with 1 even and 1 odd number. To play every odd/even non-double combo with a certain number would take 36 plays in an attempt to win $40 or $80. That's 45 non-double pairs minus the 9 that would already include the number selected. You would have to win within a couple of days to make that worthwhile. But if every indicator points to a certain number and something other than a double, then such a play might be worth a chance.

o and an odd number and 1 with 1 even and 1 odd number are both way overdue. 1 and 2 different numbers is also most due. 5 and 7 are most due and weighted due, respectively, with an even number. Therefore, why don't we play, perhaps for the rest of the week (especially if I can't get back here to update the picks) 01 and the remaining odd numbers 3, 5, 7, and 9. Those exact plays will be 130, 017, 109 (consecutive number play), and 150. An alternate could still be the 213 consecutive number play.

Tomorrow's day picks will be 627 and 609, a couple of today's picks but in different orders. 465 will incorporate the due 2 repeating number scenario and, as do the first two picks, the overdue triple sum of 6. 379 will incorporate a due all odd pick, just over average repeating triple sum, and the overdue 3 with 2 odd numbers.

The 3 number combination of 238 was the 11th most due weighted (9th otherwise) non-double combination and the triple sum of 4 was the 2nd most due. The pick also covered the 2 consecutive numbers that were due, 23 being the 2nd most due of those. Not a bad pick, but the two even numbers with 3 didn't match the two we had.
Our first pick will be 609 which covers our most due conditions including the triple sum of 6. 2 repeating numbers is on average so we'll continue with our consecutive number pick of 213. The 01 pick of the night will be 610.

The due indicators of 6 and 2 different numbers, 6 with even or odd number, 0 with odd, 3 with 2 even or 2 odd gives us our first pick of 630. Other indicators add up to our 01 and consecutive number pick for Monday night, 021. At least 2 consecutive numbers is due very soon.

I have broken down the indicator of a number plus 2 other different numbers further into whether the 2 different numbers are 1 even and 1 odd and/or 2 even or 2 odd. 1 with 2 different number (1 even/1 odd) is very overdue. 6 and 1 even/1 odd is also still due. Taking that into consideration, for the consecutive number plays we have 109, 321, 654, and 768. The 657 could still be a good alternate as 6 is still due with 2 different numbers but not necessarily 2 odd numbers as much as 1 even/1 odd.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
934 covered the 9 and an odd number and 9 with 2 different number scenarios we were playing, using 39 and 49, the 4th and 8th most due non-double pairs overall. 3 with 2 numbers was ranked 1st and/or 2nd. In a general list of non-double 3 number combos, 349 was ranked 15th most due and 22nd most due by a weighted measure. The pick also contained some generally due double sums and triple sum, including the very overdue double sum of 4 in the 1/3 positions. It also gave us two numbers on two tickets, one regular ticket and one alternate double.

And still no triple sum of 6 which has now set a new maximum number of times between drawings that it has been picked. Anything could happen now, but I still stand by the belief that this triple sum should come in by Christmas. 2 repeating numbers is just over average now so keep that in mind. The previous alternate 339 odd double with an odd, triple sum of 6 pick would have 2 repeating numbers. Our focus switches now from 9s to 7s so that particular alternate pick would switch to 177. We'll keep the consecutive-numbered pick of 897 intact and add the 2nd most due all odd-numbered pick of 375. We'll also add 762 and 087 to our list, all of which equal the elusive triple sum of 6.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
804 is an all even pick, but they were only 2/3rds or so of average, but the 048 combination was 3rd most due of those. The pick did cover the one scenario we were playing of an overdue 0 and 2 different numbers, but 0 is still overdue with odd numbers. 4 with an even number was 5th or 6th most due, but ranked by one measure 2nd most due with 2 different numbers. None of the pairs were extraordinary, none ranked in the top ten.
6 and an odd number is still ranked tops, 6 and even 4th, and 6 with 2 different numbers is ranked 1st (and 2nd). 1 with and odd number is ranked 3rd and 2nd and 1 with 2 different numbers is ranked 1st by the new measure. A pick with 2 consecutive numbers is overdue and due with 3 consecutive numbers. Also taking into consideration the still overdue 0 and odd, our 01 pick of the night will be 019. 609 is still good for the overdue triple sum of 6 (for both the day and night draws). You could make that 069, but each of those numbers is most due in each specific position and I think the odds are low that would happen on one pick. We'll also continue with 657 which I show as the most due consecutive number pick and 567 the number 1 most due 3 number non-double combination overall by two different measures. Our final pick, 361, will help cover 6 and all of the odd numbers along with 3 and an even number ranked 3rd due by one measure.

9 and an odd number and 9 with 2 different numbers is still the main play. Along with the overdue triple sum of 6, that gives us the picks 915 and 897. Alternates in that vein would be the doubles 339 and 699. I think 609 is still a good pick overall. We'll also keep the pick 359.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
794. 7 was the most due number in the 1st position and 4 was the same in the 3rd. This was a triple sum repeat of 2 and included a double sum repeat of 2 in the 1/3 positions, but is also included the most overdue double sum of 7 in the 1/2 positions. 47, 79, and 49 were the 6th, 10th, and 19th most due non-double pairs overall. By position and in order, 79 was ranked 3rd most due in the 1/2 positions and 94 5th in the 2/3 positions. 7 with an even number was 2nd most due and 4 with an odd was 3rd by the new measure. 9 with 2 different numbers was 3rd due by both measures and 4 and 2 different numbers was 4th and 2nd most due. Whew!

Since a couple of the most due combos are still 6 and an odd and/or even number and 6 with 2 different numbers is still ranked in the top 3 due, we'll continue to play the consecutive numbered picks 657 and 768. The overdue triple sum (6) pick will be 609 and the 01 pick for tonight will be 021.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW (12/16/2004)

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
289 covered the 9 and an even number and 2 and an odd scenarios as well as the 9 with 2 different number scenario we were playing. Also, tied for 2nd due by one measure, this pick covered the 2 with 2 different number scenario. We, of course, had one ticket with two numbers. It covered the due double sum of 1 in the 1/3 positions, but actually had two repeating double sums of 2 and 8 in the 1/3 and 2/3 positions respectively. 89, 29, and 28 were the 5th, 8th, and 12th most due non-double pairs overall. 89 was also the most due consecutively numbered pair.
Most due by a wide margin is still the 9 with an odd number scenario followed by 0 and an even number. Still due, by one measure, is 9 with 2 different numbers. By the other measure, 0 is most due with 2 numbers. For our odd numbered picks, we'll include 915 and 359 equating to the 1st and 2nd most due triple sums of 6 and 8, respectively. Also equaling a triple sum of 6 are our picks 024 and 609 (with 879 as an alternate, but 3 consecutive numbers are less than half average). Another alternate pick could be 379, but that would be a repeating triple sum which is just half average right now too.
If playing the way overdue triple sum of 6 scenario in combination with our due scenarios mentioned above, there are 4 combinations with 9 and an odd number (159, 339, 699, 789) and 3 combinations with a 0 and an even number (024, 069, 079). Take your pick.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (12/15/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
992 covered the 2 and an odd number play which had been most due by the new measurement; 29 was the 10th most due non-double pair overall.
Since 6 and an odd number ranks at the top of both of our due measurements (6 and even ranks 4th and 7th), let's include that in our consecutive number picks. 6 also ranks 2nd and 4th needing to be picked with 2 different numbers. Those picks will be 645 (= overdue triple sum 6), 657 (most due consecutive number combination), and 768 (most due pair in order in 2/3 positions, 68). And we'll add to those the 01 play of the day, 610.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW (12/15/2004)

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
417 not only included the hot numbers 1 and 4 again, but together again for the 5th time in 11 drawings (that's 5 out of 33 pairs). The 147 combination was the 18th most due non-double 3 number combination. 142 is still ranked #3, not having been picked together in over two years. Still this was the non-repeating number pick we were looking for along with the 7 and even and odd number and 7 with 2 different number scenario we were looking for. Just not with a 1 and a 4. The pick also included an overdue double sum of 8 in the 2/3 positions.

That leaves us with 9 and even/odd and 9 with 2 different number scenarios to play along with 0 and even and 2 and odd. That will give us our first pick for tomorrow, 029. We'll also the retain the 359 combination in that order along with another odd combination, 379. The overdue triple sum of 6 pick today will be 609. Also, odd doubles with an odd number are over average due and 339 is a good alternate pick as it also equals the triple sum of 6. 33 with an odd number also happens to be the most due of that type.
There are six 3 number combinations (out of 25 total) that contain a 9 and equate to that triple sum: 069, 159, 249, 339, 699, and 789. If you wanted to play that triple sum and narrow down your choices, that might be one way to do it. You would have almost a 25% chance of hitting when that triple sum comes up. I would even hazard a guess that this triple sum would certainly come in before Christmas and probably this week with a little luck. It will set a new maximum number for picks between combinations that equal that sum within a couple of days. Say you play 6 $1 any plays for 7 days for $42. There are no guarantees, of course, but if you hit by the last day, you can still almost double your money to $80 or, even better, $160 if one of the doubles come in.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (12/14/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
385 included 2 repeating numbers. That repeating pair, 58, has been in the last 3 drawings and 4 of the last 6. I think that's enough already. This picked covered the 2nd most due triple sum of 7. 35 was the 3rd most due pair in order overall and the 6th most due pair in order in the 1/3 positions. 38 was the 2nd most due pair in order in the 1/2 positions.

I'm not sure what I was paying attention to yesterday, but I apologize for the 657 pick as that included 2 repeating numbers and was not the sort of pick I would normally suggest immediately following a pick with 2 repeating numbers. In any case, we're still thinking consecutive numbers 213, 109, and 342 with 021 as an alternate. We'll also add 762 to the list for tonight.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW (12/14/2004)

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
886 gives us the double we mentioned to beware of and an even double with an even number that was over average due. 88 was the 7th most due pair overall.
The six repeated from the previous day draw and so we probably have our best chance at no repeating numbers following a double. Today's warning is about a triple sum of 6 which has gone 4x the average number of drawings since it was last picked. Our pick 375 equates to that sum. An all odd pick is just under average now. 953 is another all odd and equates to the 2nd most due triple sum of 8. Our remaining picks will be 079 and 279.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (12/13/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
587 includes 2 repeating numbers, 58, which was just over average, and a due repeating double sum of 4 from that same pair, 58, since it did repeat in the same 1/2 positions. The pick also covered the 7 and an even and odd number, 7 with 2 different numbers , and 5 with an odd number. All this gave us the usual two tickets with two numbers.

Combinations due and available to play if we want them are 6 and odd, 2 and odd, 7 and even still, 0 and odd, and 4 and odd. 0 and 1 are ranked 1st by 2 different methods as being due with 2 different numbers. Also, 3 consecutive numbers is still due. Therefore, we will still include 657 in our picks. Also in that vein will be picks 021 and 213. We'll also add 694 to our list for Monday's night draw.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW (12/13/2004)

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
146. After yesterday's pick, this one is quite a letdown. 1 and 4 are the hot numbers and 9, one of the numbers we're playing, is the coldest.

Still trying to avoid repeating numbers and focusing mostly on our 7 and 9, Monday's day picks will be 079, 579, 279, and 803. Still beware doubles. They can more easily be non-repeating than a pick with 3 different numbers.

BONUS BALL UPDATE

MEGA MILLIONS: The double sum of 6 mentioned hit last night with a bonus of 15. And the consecutive numbers suggested on Wednesday also hit with 22 and 23. The double sum of 5 is still in play along with numbers ending in 0 or 2 in the 40s or 50s. Continued good luck.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (12/11/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
588 included the most due pair and double overall, 88, the 2nd most due pair in order overall, 88, and the 2nd most due pair in order in the 2/3 positions, 88. Oh, and 58 was the 9th most due pair in order in the 1/3 positions.
Our focus remains the same and so do most of the picks. Those are 017, 675, and 427 with the addition of 798.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW (12/11/2004)

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
365. Now there's a pick. First, it was the triple sum repeat of 5 we were looking for (3+6+5=14=5). Next, it included the 3 and even/odd and 3 with 2 different numbers we were looking for. Last, and certainly not least, it included the ever elusive 36 pair that was the 1st most due non-double pair overall, 1st most due in order overall, and 1st most due in order in the 1/2 positions. Also included was 35, the 8th most due non-double pair overall, and 65, the 4th most due pair in order in the 2/3 positions. The only reason for us not to have played this was because we were trying to avoid playing a repeat number (5) from the previous drawing. We had this one, but let it slip away, getting the basic play right and even having the first two numbers in order on one ticket.
Available to play now are 9 and 7 with an even and/or odd number and either with 2 different numbers along with non-repeating numbers. 9 is currently the coldest number. Also just a note of warning that doubles of all kinds are due or just over average due. Tomorrow's day picks will be 479, 079, 089, and 712. A 77x or 99x pick might work as an alternate.

182 was a repeat of a triple sum of 2 which was just under average due. It covered the 1 and an even number and the 2 and an odd number we were playing with 1 being the most due number in the 1st position. It also covered the 1 and 2 different number scenario we mentioned.

We're focusing on 7 and even/odd (and 2 different numbers) and the various other due combinations, including 3 consecutive numbers. Tonight's picks will therefore be 017, 675, 768, and 427. Two repeating numbers is just on average if you wanted to play the 321 again as an alternate pick.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
851 included 2 repeating numbers from yesterday and we were essentially playing the opposite. This three number combination is only the 5th (out of 220 combinations) to be picked together 10 or more times. It is also only the 12th (out of 1000) to be picked 4 times in the same order. A very low percentage pick all the way around.

We'll play the numbers 023 and 293 as triple sum repeats and incorporating the fact that 3 is due with even and odd and 2 different numbers. Further incorporated into today's picks are 9 and 7 with an even and/or odd number and 2 different numbers with 367 and 679.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (12/09/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
200 includes that 00 I didn't think would repeat so soon. The picked covered the most overdue double sum of 2 in the 1/2 positions and slightly due in the 1/3 positions and that 02 pair was the 18th ranked non-double pair overall.

The overdue combinations look exactly the same as yesterday so our picks will look exactly the same as yesterday. And they were and will be 017, 367, 231, and 762.
Another weapon that we just added to the arsenal is a check on a number plus two other different numbers (3 different numbers, in other words). Currently this shows 7 as most due, followed by 1 and 0. Is that a coincidence that one of ours picks has that combination? I dunno. Also note, that the top 3 for the day draw are 3, 7, and 9 and one of our picks for the day draw is that combination of numbers. Another coincidence? Still dunno, but this new weapon looks like it should help us in the battle.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW (12/09/2004)

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
415 included that 1 we didn't play and the hottest number in recent history, 4, which we also had avoided in our picks for today. The pick did cover the 1 and an odd number combination mentioned that we didn't play. Strike one. 4 was the most due number in the 1st position and 41 was the 9th most due non-double pair in order overall, neither of which we played. Strike two and three. We're out but not down.

A triple sum of 1 should be a decent candidate for a repeat. Yesterday's pick of 379 equates to that and we'll keep that pick intact, then add 307 and 892 which also add up. We'll add 627 which equates to the most overdue triple sum of 6. Note also that there are no repeating numbers from today's draw within these picks.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (12/08/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
845 covered the 8 and an even, 4 and an odd, and 5 and an even number combinations we were playing, getting two tickets with two numbers again. 8 was the most due number in the 1st position and 45 was the 2nd most due non-double pair in order. Hindsight: I even considered 845 instead of our 841 pick, but wanted to pair 4 with a different odd number for greater variety. Variety is the spice of life and he who controls the spice controls the universe.

Don at Texas Lotto Report started a new Pick 3 play last night. It mainly consists of the overdue 01 pair we've mentioned and played at various times (non-double ranks: #1 due overall, 01 and 10 in order 3rd and 7th respectively before last night's drawing). His top picks are 010, 011, and 107. I don't understand, and wouldn't necessarily play, the 00 and 11 doubles as they were part of a recent spurt of doubles, but then again, anything can and does happen in this game.

Most all due combinations cross over today: 2 and odd, 7 and even (7 and odd equally due by one method), 6 and odd, and 1 and even. When a number is due with both and even and odd number that could mean the number is getting cold. The 017 combination does look good though and best in that order, but it will be a triple sum repeat which is just under average. That pick also includes the underpicked, overdue double sum of 7 in the 1/3 positions and most due overall. Next we will include 231 and 367 which equate to the overdue triple sums of 6 and 7 respectively. Last, but not least, may I introduce 762 which includes the top three combinations and happens to equate to a triple sum of 6 too.

BONUS BALL UPDATE

MEGA MILLIONS: A number ending in a 9 finally hit last night and numbers ending in a 4 hit on Nov 26th and 30th, but not much else since we mentioned those Nov 8th. Due are a double sum of 5 and 6 and numbers ending in 0 or 2 in the 40s or 50s. The best case scenario would be 50 or 42.

And you might want to include consecutive numbers in your picks too.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW (12/08/2004)

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
021 was just picked in combination on Nov 26th as 210 so consecutive numbers weren't really due again so soon. 0 was the most due number in the 1st position and the double sum of 2 in the 1/2 positions was also most due.

A triple sum of 3 is not very attractive to repeat. Also, a pick with no repeating numbers is now due so we won't include 0, 2, or 1 in tomorrow's picks. Remember though, that 1 and an odd number is tops on one list (4th on the other) of combinations that are due. Tomorrow's day picks will be 379, 376, 983, and 956.

EXAMPLE INFO - UPDATE

This is just an update on the example of the Pick 3 information that we used yesterday for the New York Midday Pick 3. The most due combinations mentioned of 7 and even and 6 and even/odd was hit today with the pick of 768. Mentioned was the most overdue double sum of 5 overall and that was hit in the 2/3 positions (6+8=14=5) and the 2nd most due double sum in the 1/2 positions of 4 (7+6=13=4) was also hit. And that's how it works. Sometimes not so soon, but sometimes even better than that. So, remember to email me if you are interested in this type of info.
12/08/2004: Wednesday's midday pick, 148, included a 1 and an even number that had risen to 3 and 4 on the due lists. The pick also included the overdue 18 pair mentioned in the example and another of double sum of 5, this time in the 1/2 positions.
12/09/2004: Thursday's midday pick, 505, included more of those double sums of 5 in the 1/2 and 2/3 positions. It also included a due pair in order mentioned in the 2/3 positions, 05.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (12/07/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
983 included 2 consecutive numbers that we mentioned to look out for, just not a pair that we had included in our picks. Other than that the pick included no outstanding pairs or sums.

Overdue combinations by the original method: 8 and even, 7 and even/odd, 4 and odd and due equally are 2 and odd/1 and even/6 and odd. Due by the new method are 2 and odd, 4 and odd, 7 and even, and 5 and even. You can see the crossovers 2 and odd, 7 and even, and 4 and odd. Tonight's picks will be 841, 572, 475, and 213 (3 consecutive #s over average due).

EXAMPLE INFO

Remember, if you wish to start receiving info from another state's Pick 3 please leave me a comment or email me. Below is an example of the type of information you will get to help you in picking the combinations to play:

NEW YORK MIDDAY PICK 3:
Due combinations in order, starting with the most due: 7 and even and/or odd number, 6 and even and/or odd number, 0 and even number, and 9 and an even number.

An all odd number combination (3 different numbers) is over average due. The combinations most due of those are 379, 139, and 137.

Triple sums due: 8 and 9

Double sums due by position: 0 and 4 in the 1/2 positions, 8 and 9 in the 2/3 positions, and 8 and 5 in the 1/3 positions. 5 is most due double sum overall.

Numbers most due by position: 9 and 4 in the first position, 8 and 2 in the 2nd position, 7 and 6 in the 3rd position.

Most due non-double pairs in order overall: 32, 23, 90, 18 and 81.

Most due non-double pairs overall: 23, 18, 26, 89, and 49.

Most due double pairs overall: 99 and 77.

Most due pairs in order by position: 1/2 positions 94, 49, 19, 33, and 99, 2/3 positions 05, 54, 88, 89, and 85, 1/3 positions 50, 61, 04, 92, and 37.

You can then combine, mix and match, the various information to come up with picks for your local Pick 3. You will actually receive more information than this. For example, you should receive the top ten pairs in the various categories rather than the five seen in some of the categories above.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW (12/07/2004)

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
184 includes another 2 repeating numbers for the 3rd day in a row and was again another combination we had been playing at the time, but not now.

This triple sum of 4 is a better candidate to repeat tomorrow. Two of the picks played today equate to that triple sum and can be played tomorrow as 013 and 931. We'll also keep 690 which equates to the overdue triple sum of 6. We'll add 592 which includes another even and odd number with which to pair to 9.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
246 picked last night was almost as bad as all those doubles what with 24 and 26 pairs repeating from those recent 22 doubles. An all even numbered pick was below average, but the combination of 246 was the most due of those, last picked together at night in Sept 2003.

Picks for Monday's night draw will include our top due combinations, focusing on 2 consecutive numbers. Those picks will be 768, 475, 238, and 180. Of course, they only include 5 of the 10 possible consecutive number pairs but two of the most due, 01 and 23.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
864 is another all even pick, a combination we were also playing yesterday when it was due and we won with one of our picks. We were not playing all even again, but we were playing 8 and an even number and had two tickets with 2 numbers again. 68 was the 5th most due non-double pair overall and 86 the 4th most due in order. 6 was the most due number in the 2nd position.

We won't play a triple sum repeat on Monday because the triple sum of 9 picked today is overpicked and not very attractive. Instead, we'll play combinations including 9 and odd and/or even, 3 and odd and/or even, and 1 and an odd number. Those numbers will be 039, 103, 931, and 690.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
911. Drip. 5th double in 6 draws now. Odd doubles with an odd number were actually due, 11 being the most due of those. That's why we actually picked this number a few nights ago. 19 was the 2nd most due non-double pair overall, 11 the 4th most due overall. 91 was the 8th most due pair in order, 11 the 12th. 1 was the most due number in the 3rd position, not picked in that position since Oct 27th. 1 and an odd number was the 2nd most due combination according to the original method.

Hopefully and probably the rain of doubles is over for now and we can get back to business. We'll be playing the same numbers 768, 257, 475, and 427. 2 consecutive numbers is due and they occur very often so you might want to narrow your picks to those. 3 consecutive numbers shows over average due and most due among that group of parameters, which include all even, all odd, even doubles, odd doubles, and 3 consecutive numbers.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
246 eight, who do we appreciate? Today's pick took care of the overdue conditions of 2 repeating numbers and an all even numbered pick! We had a winner! A whopping $80 winner, playing our pick 462 as exact/any. 6 was the most due number in the 3rd position, not having been picked there since Sept 22nd. The 24 and 26 pairs were the 3rd and 8th most due non-double pairs overall respectively. The pick also covered, as mentioned, the 6 and 2 and an even number new method due conditions. Let's hear it for the new method!

We'll continue to play the 8 and even indicated by both old and new methods. The 3rd most due combination (new method) is 9 and even and since 8 is most due with that, we'll play 489 as our triple sum repeat play since that is still overdue as well. Also indicated by the new method are a 9 and/or 3 and an odd number. Since they are most due with each other under that scenario (39 6th most due non-double pair overall), we'll add 093 (03 3rd most due non-double pair overall) to our triple sum repeat play. Also, playing the most overdue triple sum of 6, we'll add 087, 186, and 825 to our list of picks. You can play both ends as we seem to be doing, or pick one or the other to play. In either case, good luck to us all!

How about $20 cash money for personalized service, emailed to you every day for a month? Just leave me a comment on what you think of this idea or if you're interested.

8 and an even number stands out as overdue using both methods and, using the new method, add 6 and even and 2 and even to that. Since we're full of even plus even scenarios and an all even numbered pick is still overdue, we'll play the 46 pair to repeat tomorrow with picks 462 and 648. The 14 and 16 pairs we'll play to repeat with the picks 481 and 216.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (12/02/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
622. No method, new or old, could or should pick an even double with an even number twice in a row, let alone the same even double, 22, again. I guess 22 was so overdue before that it's making up for lost time now. The number 2, though, was the most due number in the 2nd position. But that doesn't make up for anything.

We'll continue to play the same picks for tonight in the form of 180, 845, 328, and 768. Also, as alternates and since the alternate method numbers actually look pretty good on paper, combine 7 and even with 2 or 4 and odd, then 5 and even. You get 257, 457, and 427. As a matter of fact, those will be the primary picks followed by the 768.

BONUS BALL UPDATE

TEXAS LOTTO: From Nov 18th, a double sum of 4 was picked in the form of the number 4 on Nov 27th. Also mentioned back then was a number ending in 0. That question was answered last night when a 20 was picked. Still left is the double sum of 8 and a number in the 40s. None of the numbers equating to a double sum of 8 really stand out. Therefore start with 41 as I think a number ending in 1 is most due overall right now, followed by 17 and/or 26.

POWERBALL: With the powerball jackpot so high, we'll take another look at this one. We were looking for a number under 10 previously and there have been 3 of them since we mentioned that back on Nov 18th. We're still looking for a number ending in 5, first, then a number ending in 8. Perhaps either of those except a number under 10.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW (12/02/2004)

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
950 quickly validated the new method of selecting combinations mentioned in the previous post. This pick included 3 of the top 4: 9 and even, 5 and odd, and 9 and odd. But one pick does not a nose make. We'll still reserve judgement and not get too excited too quickly. Also included in this pick: 9 was the most due number in the 1st position, the 59 pair was the 3rd most due non-double pair overall, the most due double sum of 5 in the 2/3 positions, and the 2nd most due triple sum of 5.

Unfortunately, it covered virtually nothing that we were playing. So, we'll keep playing it. 6 and an even number is way overdue, by both ranking methods, followed by 8 and even and 6 and odd via the original method. By the new method, it's followed by 8 and even, 2 and even, and 9 and odd. Following this, we'll play the 95 and 90 pairs to repeat and not the 05. Still overdue are triple sum repeats, an all even numbered pick, and triples. Therefore, tomorrow's day picks will be 608 (triple sum repeat), 426, 690, and 579.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (12/01/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
242 contained the number one most due double and pair overall, the 2nd most due even pair with an even number (88 is tops in those lists now if you're interested), and 3rd most due pair in order, 22. Also, 24 was the 5th most due non-double pair and 42 in order was 5th most due in the 2/3 positions. It also covered the 4 and an even number combination we mentioned.

We'll still play the 8 and even tonight, but an alternate method of identifying combinations gives us 5 and even, 7 and even, 2 and odd, and 4 and odd. We'll try to evaluate whether this secondary method gives us any valuable results. For the day draw it shows 9 and odd, 6 and even, 5 and odd, 9 and even, so that at least validates the 6 and even we're mostly playing there and may also help point out that a 9 is also due. We'll see.

Anyway, tonight's picks will be 801, 285, 384, and 768.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW (12/01/2004)

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
What can I say about 704? Anything? . . . No, that's about it.

In contrast to the night draw, the day draw has numerous overdue conditions. We've been playing 2 repeating numbers, all even numbers, 6 and an even, and triple sum repeats. One of those will hit soon. Don't you think?

The all even 460 will slip into our list nicely with 2 repeating numbers. We'll also keep 826. Add to those, picks 607 and 471.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (11/30/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
095 included a similar lowered chance of two repeating numbers from a double mentioned for the day draw, proving it can happen. 05 repeated from the previous draw of 500. Also it covered the repeating triple sum of 5 (0+9+5=14=5) we were playing and the last due double sum of 5 in the 2/3 positions.

Not much stands out so tonight might be a good night to skip, otherwise we'll play 4 or 8 and an even number and 1 and an odd number. The most due odd numbers with a 1 are a 1 and a 9, and since odd doubles with an odd number are slightly due and 11x is the most due of those, we'll play 911 (19 2nd most due non-double pair overall). Consecutive numbers are just over average now so we'll also play 190 (01 still the most due pair overall). We'll also include picks 528 and 485 that use 28 and 45, the 1st and 2nd most due pairs in order respectively.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW (11/30/2004)

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
334. There's the double you were warned about. 33 was the 2nd most due pair overall and the 4th most due in order (and, yes, there is a difference) and obviously the most due double pair. It also covered the most overdue triple sum of 1 (3+3+4=10=1).

We can play the 34 pair to repeat, but I would say the odds are lower for a pair repeating from today's pick since there's only one decent pair to play instead of the usual three. That one pick for tomorrow will be 436. The other even numbered picks will stay the same, 826 and 460 (overdue triple sum repeat).

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (11/29/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
500 covered the due triple sum of 5 and a couple of 5 double sums in the 1/2 and 1/3 positions, but it is still the most due in the 2/3 positions. It also covered, of course, the 5 and even we were playing, giving us 2 numbers on 1 ticket again just missing that elusive 01 pair we needed on that ticket. It is only the 7th combination (out of 1000) to be picked in order 4 or more times.

A triple sum repeat is overdue and since the triple sum of 5 is still under average for the number of times it has been picked in the last 30 draws, we'll try it for Monday night. Incorporating various 2x pairs, the picks will be 428, 725, and 923, all equating to the triple sum of 5. The pairs 23, 24, and 25 are the 4th, 5th, and 3rd most due non-double pairs overall, 28 is the most due pair in order, and 2 is the most due number in the 2nd position.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
873 is only the 2nd combination to be picked together 11 times and the 3 numbers were just picked together as 738 on Nov 16th, but it's actually the first time picked in this order. 83 was the number one pair due in order in the 1/3 positions and the only pair that hadn't been picked in order in any position in over 2 years (Nov 12 2002). 73 was 3rd most due in order in the 2/3 positions. Also, 7 was the most due number in the 2nd position.

We'll keep playing 2 numbers to repeat (excluding the 78 pair) and all even picks. Monday's day picks will be 367, 386, 460, and 826. Also be forewarned that doubles are becoming due and don't forget that triples are still overdue.

216 was just picked in that order on Nov 12th so it certainly wasn't a number we would ever focus on even though 2 was the most due in the 1st position. We did get a ticket with two numbers and that pays a big fat zero. It covered the most due double sum overall of 7. It also covered the 1 and an even number and the 2 and an odd number we mentioned recently as being due behind the 5 and even.

That certainly makes the 5 and an even number stand out even more. Tonight's picks will be 235, 451, 568, and 150 which include the under picked double sum of 5 pairs.

But, it was the opposite of the 5 and an even number we were playing.

And what we'll continue to play tonight. Those picks will be 265, 150, and 458 which also contain a consecutive pair that should occur soon and an overdue triple sum repeat.

We'll continue to play a combination of 2 repeating numbers and all even numbered picks. For leftovers we'll play 172, 152, and 572. For dessert we'll have another slice of even numbers, 486 and 026.

237 was a nondescript little pick except that it means there have been 9 different numbers in the last 3 picks. And we're playing two to repeat! Is that irony? Oh well, we'll iron that out later.

We'll still play a combination of repeating numbers and all even numbered picks, or you can pick one or the other to go with. There are 10 all even combinations and if you narrow that down to those just including the overdue 6 and an even number, you have six picks: 026, 046, 068, 246, 268, and 468. Or you could play just repeating pairs which would be from 3 to 21 or 27 picks. We'll just play 362, 763, and 172 using the repeating pairs and all even picks 486 and 406.

5 and an even number is tops on our list followed by 1and an even/6 and an odd/2 and odd and a triple sum repeat. Tonight's picks will be 325, 756 (the most due consecutive number pick), 150 (01 pair #1 with a bullet), and 845 (most due triple sum 8). As an alternate pick you could use 526 which would be a triple sum repeat.

An all even numbered pick and 2 repeating numbers are about equally overdue with a triple sum repeat about half as due as those combinations. So, we'll play a little bit of all of them. Two repeating number picks, 910, 186, and 896, and all even numbered picks, 862 (triple sum repeat), and 406. Some contain 86 the 5th most due pair in order (9th overall), equate to the most due triple sum of 1, or include the most overdue condition of a 6 and an even number.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (11/22/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
The 173 combination of numbers joins the elite group of only 4 (out of 220) that has been picked together 10 times for the night draw. Interestingly, that combination of three numbers has not been picked together at all for the day draw, zero, since day/night draws began. The double sum of 4 is overpicked in the 1/2 positions, but was actually due in the 1/3 positions where the 13 pair took care of that last night and was 6th most due pair (4th non-double) in order overall.

Obviously there were no repeat pairs last night, so on Monday night we can play the pairs 13, 17, and 37. We will include the due 3 and an even number scenario, waiting on the 9 and an odd since that would make any one of the picks an all odd pick again and I wouldn't want to pick that to happen two draws in a row.

We'll play the 15 pair to repeat, then the 6 and an even number. Since 5 and an even number is 2nd most due combination (along with 6 and odd), we'll play 215 on Monday. Since an even numbered combination is still also overdue we'll play 406 and 826 (triple sum repeat), also covering 6 and the other four even numbers with 6 most due in the 3rd position. I'll also add 360 to the pick list because as we all know by now, 36 overall and in order is the most due pair and 06 is 3rd most due overall and 03 is 8th.

We were playing the 98 last night and had played and had as an alternate a pick containing the 94. Also, as advertised, the 8 in the 3rd position had been way overdue, going on almost 3 months since it had been picked there.

What are the odds of one of these previously overdue pairs repeating? Good question. I dunno. Perhaps they're ready to make up for lost time. In any case, we'll play that scenario again. Tonight's picks will be 428, 419, and 389. 3 is now due with an even and/or odd number and 9 is equally as due with an odd number which a couple of these picks include.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW (11/20/2004)

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
218 picked today gives us another two tickets with two numbers on them. It included 18 and 12 the 2nd and 10th most due pairs overall and 18 the 17th most due pair in order.

Still due is a 6 and an even number and, like the night draw, 2 repeating numbers and a triple sum repeat are just becoming due. If we leave a couple of today's picks the same for tomorrow, 826 and 861, then we already have two picks with 2 repeating numbers. I would play 6 with the remaining repeat pair, 12, but I don't really like the triple sum of 9 right now. But if you want to play it, play it as 621. I think we'll go with 132 though as a 3 consecutive number combination is also over average now. As alternates 152 or 712, although 712 is almost too perfect of a pick where every double sum and triple sum is from a little due to overdue.

If you were to be really aggressive with these 2 repeating number plays on the day and night draws, you could take each of the three pairs and play them each with all numbers 0 thru 9. That would be 30 plays, but the 128 combination (for the day draw for example) can be thrown out for all three pairs (3 repeating numbers happens but is very rare), leaving you with 27 plays. Then, if desired, you could also eliminate all doubles, two for each pair, leaving 21 plays. In either case, if you only play "any" tickets you would certainly have to win within the first two or three times you tried this to win the $80 and take home a small profit. This might be reserved for when this condition is outrageously overdue.

There's nothing much special or outstanding about the 720 picked today except for the fact that 72 was the 8th most due pair in order in the 1/2 positions (but only ranked 77th overall in order).

We'll still play the 6 and an even number scenario with the added twist of putting the 6 mostly in the 3rd position where it is the most due number, and also including a couple of all even numbered combinations. Tomorrow's day picks will be 086, 826, 386, and 861. Also note though that a triple sum repeat is over average and 2 repeating numbers is getting to be due which none of these picks include. 306 might be a good extra pick for a triple sum repeat or 026 for an all even 2 repeating number pick.

646 picked last night covered the three things we mentioned as being about on average: doubles, even double with an even number, and non-repeating numbers. Plus it covered an overdue triple sum of 7 (6+4+6=16=7). Jeff had added the doubles 55 and 33 to his list last night. I'm not sure I understand these selections as, prior to last night, 33 and 55 were the most recent doubles picked along with that triple 5. Odd doubles with an odd number are about on average right now though, but 11 is the most due of those.

Triple sum repeats, 2 repeating numbers, and even 2 consecutive numbers are needed at this point (01 being the most overdue of those and all pairs period). We'll keep and rearrange the numbers we're playing for tonight's draw. They will be 149, 298, 301, and 385 (triple sum repeat).

Powerball: 37 was also picked for the Powerball and we mentioned that number yesterday morning. A number ending in 5 then 8 is still due, but now we're looking at a number under 10, thus, obviously, 5 and 8.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
844. Well, we got our 4 and 8, but not in the order I wanted and I certainly didn't order two 4's today. We had actually been playing the double 4, 448, from 11/11 to 11/15 (Monday) only dropping it from our pick list because of the double 4 drawn on Monday. I knew I disliked Mondays. This one did cover the on average even double with an even number combo. It has also covered the double sum of 3 we were looking for, twice. And, it took care of that maxed out, overdue triple sum of 7 (8+4+4=16=7). What more could you ask for? To win, don't forgot to ask to win.

We are left with a due 6 with an even number and an all even numbered pick. Tomorrow's picks contain various pairs due in order such as 36, 63, and 86 or due overall such as 36, 18, and 06. They are 086, 386, 861, and 630. As an extra pick you might go with 549 where 54 and 59 are 2 of the top 6 pairs due in order and overall.

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (11/17/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:
517 covered the 1 and an odd number we were playing, and the 7 and an odd number which was also due. It also covered the all odd combination that was about on average and the most overdue double sum of 6 in the 1/2 positions. Jeff at the Texas Lotto Report web site, was going with a 31 combination for the night drawing. I don't know if he was going with a 1 and odd also, but it's certainly interesting to see other people's picks. His favorite picks as any plays were 314, 319, and 310 (we also had 013). He may be going with 3 and a due pair: 01, 19, and 14 are the 1st, 2nd, and 9th most due pairs overall so very good choices. It looks like to me that 3 is a number that's been cooling off recently, but then again, anything can happen and does. If you're interested, go to that web site to keep up with any changes he might make to his picks.

As for us, there's no combo that stands out. Minimally 3 and 9 with even/odd number. Doubles, even double with an even number, and non-repeating numbers are about on average. Triple sum repeats and 2 repeating numbers are over average now. So if you still want to play tonight, we'll play 013 (triple sum repeat), 194, 928 (non-repeating numbers), and 385 incorporating various pairs due in general and in order and in position.

BONUS BALL UPDATE

TEXAS 2 STEP: A number ending in 0, 10, came up on Monday's drawing. That's two in a row which doesn't happen very often. Now there are numerous possibilities which are all approximately equal. You could go with numbers ending in a 2 or a 1, or you could go with double sum numbers equaling 7, 4, or 3. Combining the two, the best couple of numbers would be 12 and 31. Nothing adding up to 7 ends in a 1 or 2.

Powerball: Could be, might be, certainly eventually will be a number in the 30s and/or a number ending in a 5. Therefore, 35 followed by 38 and 37, etc.

PICK 3 DAY DRAW (11/17/2004)

PICK 3 DAY DRAW UPDATE:
738 contains the same three numbers picked on the 12th, 783; too soon to be picked together again in other words. And 3 seems to be getting picked with everything except the 6; what did 6 ever do to 3 to deserve being treated this way? 3, 7, and 8 now joins elite company, being only the 4th of 220 combinations to be picked 10 times or more together since day/night drawings began.

Still playing the double sum of 3 and the 48 pair, our picks for tomorrow's day drawing will be 408, 481, 486, and 548. As you will notice, 48 is in order in each of the three positions. 48 is the 4th most due pair in order overall, behind ye olde 36, 63, and 54 (which is included in one of the picks).

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW (11/16/2004)

PICK 3 NIGHT DRAW UPDATE:

Last night's pick included the 4th most due pair 78, a due double sum of 8 in the 1/2 positions, 5th most due pair in order in the 1/2 positions 80, and the 8 and an even/odd combination with 8 also being the most due number in the 1st position.

Tonight's picks, still playing 1 and an odd number, will be 194, 451, 013, and 471 (47 is the most due pair in order in the 1/2 positions). 617 is an alternate pick where 67 is the 2nd most due pair in order in the 1/3 positions.
