Pick 3 changed its number pool then, which started a new era. Only the 1,063 draws since count towards number statistics — mixing draws from before a rule change would make any frequency meaningless.

Every tool, for this game

That draw, on a play slip

  1. 4
  2. 6
  3. 7

All different — every digit different — 6 orderings.

A straight on 467 was one line in 1,000. A box on the same digits covered 6 of them — one in 167 — and pays about a 6th as much. Neither is a better bet than the other: they are the same money bought in different sized pieces.

Straight, or box

Pick 3 draws 3 digits in order, each from 10 — so there are exactly 1,000 lines, and every one of them is as likely as every other. What changes with a box is how many of those lines your ticket covers.

BetLines coveredChanceLines of this shapeShare of all draws
Straight — the exact order11 in 1,000——
Box — All different61 in 16772072.0%
Box — One pair31 in 33327027.0%
Box — Three the same11 in 1,000101.0%

The last two columns are why a box on three different digits feels common: 72% of all draws have that shape. It is also why the prize is smaller.

Every digit, in every position

4,678 draws, so chance expects each digit about 468 times in each position. A position is its own machine: the first digit knows nothing about the second.

The gold mark on each bar is what chance predicts. These are counts over 4,678 draws, not a forecast: a shape that is behind is not owed a turn.

Add-ons

The side bet sold beside the ticket. How many people buy it is not published; the prize table gives it away, because a multiplied outcome is reported twice — once for the tickets that paid the extra, once for those that did not.
