There is no way to increase the odds of winning. People have studied the theory and the history of actual draws, and found nothing ( except for rare situations where one state used to have a computer draw the numbers, and the program was doing it wrong).

@@BurkeyAcademy Dr. Burke, I respectfully disagree. I am a Pick 3 data strategist. I believe the odds of winning can be increased if the list of numbers to choose from are decreased, a scheduled betting strategy implemented, and other number patterns (such as sums), and micro datasets are considered. Note: A micro dataset can be between 3-30days. Let's say I didn't focus on the entire list of 1000 numbers and only looked at numbers that totaled "8" when their digits where added together. My list of numbers to choose from would = 10 (not 1000). For example, the sum of "8" has appeared 10 times in the last 30days of NC Pick 3. If I were to schedule my bet 1-2days after a sum of "8" appeared, I would be ROI positive.

@@willpowersLotteryDataAnalyst "Data Strategist" :) If you believe that the balls have some sort of alien intelligence, and have a talk before the draws and say "Hey guys-- let's make sure we add up to "8" tomorrow!", then I appreciate your contributions toward funding education in North Carolina! Also, you are incorrect that there are only 10 out of 1000 tickets that sum to 8-- there are 45 unique tickets out of the 1000 that sum to 8, not that it matters, since the balls have no way of knowing what they should add up to on any given day. We call what you are doing "the Gambler's Fallacy".

You must be talking about a different pick 3. I am talking about picking 3 balls from 3 different groups of 10, which is binomial. If you are picking 3 from a common pool of balls, then that is hypergeometric.

Thank you so much for your reply. I’m talking about picking 3 numbers correctly from 3 different groups of 47. So picking 3 numbers correctly from 3 different runs of the lottery. Is that still hypergeometric if it’s 3 different pools of balls but the same numbers (1 to 47) are in each pool?

@@carey232323 I don't think I understand exactly what you are trying to accomplish. You want to know the probability that what happens?

There are 3 draws of the Irish lottery on say Saturday night. There are 47 balls in each draw of this lottery. I am trying to work out the probability of selecting 3 numbers correctly across these three draws on a particular day, where say if number 10 was to appear twice, it would only count as selecting one number correctly. Does that make sense?

Yes, I hear that occasionally, but don't quite get it. I mean, he grew up in California, and I am a small town North Carolina boy. :)

Sounds nothing like Tom Hanks at all! The only thing they have in common is they're both men haha!

@@jennifercharlton-dennis6763 😆

I am not from California, but every pick 3/4 lottery system pays out MUCH less in winnings than it would cost to buy one of every ticket. This is how they make a profit. Typical system Pays out 40% of what they take in.

@@BurkeyAcademy no, if there is a 1:1000 chance of winning the straight (typically over $350 and averaging closer to $500, we'll say $350 as a minimum). Getting a Box (typically doesn't go under $55 and can be over $200 but we'll say $55) has the odds of 1:333 at the lowest (two out of 3 are the same numbers), and a Straight/Box (typically doesn't get under $200 but can get up over $500) has the same odds at the lowest for 2 of the same numbers at 1:333. (1•$350)+(3•$55)+(3•200)=$1,115 with only $1000 spent. That's the typically lowest odds and winnings. The odds increase from the 1:333 to 1:167 if each number is different, increasing the equation to a max of over $3,850 on $1000 of tickets depending on how many tickets were sold and how many winners there were. They bank on multiple losing tickets as typically at least 1/2 don't win anything, usually more. Again, this is theoretical (as no minimum wage worker is going to do 1000 different combinations manually), the last 40 draw results, and based off of the odds posted on the website. I mean, I'm not a mathematician but I'm pretty sure my numbers are pretty accurate. Obviously, the numbers wouldn't be the same if everyone used that same strategy as winnings would be significantly lower as everyone would share the winnings equally and there would still be a revenue cut from the winnings I believe but as it is, I'm pretty sure this is accurate.

Same here! Thank goodness, all we really need to know how to do on a daily basis is add, subtract, multiply and sometimes divide! Sheesh! 🤣

This is a video for people taking statistics courses in high school or college, not 3rd graders. ☺

Third Grade math?? Um… knowing your multiplication tables from 1 to 10, and learning the concept of “rounding off” is not a high level indeed. One would think that you graduated with at least a GED, and therefore have the acumen to plug numbers into a “given formula” to get a result, the percentage (probability) answer. An open book quiz, with explanation, and answer by BurkeyAcademy. And the simple illustrations were very helpful. I understood the lesson easily. And more importantly, I grasped the concept that it’s impossible, statistically speaking, to have any good chance to pick the correct PICK3 or PICK4 numbers. Indeed, it would be impossible to do a PICK1. The math is correct. It is what it is.

I don’t understand how this is difficult to understand lol mfs don’t have the mental capacity or attention span to sit and watch this but hey to each their own

With these tickets you basically just add the probabilities. So, if with a pick 3 you have a 1/1000 change of winning $500, then if you buy 4 you have a 4/1000 chance. If you buy all 1,000 combinations of numbers, you would have a 1000/1000 chance, or 100%.

@@BurkeyAcademy Thank you

Well, since everyone thinks that, now I have to find a way to make money off it somehow... read bedtime stories?

How else would you like the mathematics of lotteries to "help you" other than to show that you should not play it? I didn't really get into those details, but there is no strategy, no luck... in the long run everyone pays much more than they will ever get back- the accounting books for the lotteries prove that! I know this is hard to understand, the lottery designers do this on purpose to scam more money from more people (similar to the science of addictive plinko/slots/etc.) There are only a rare few gambling games where in rare circumstances you can expect to make money. Though you CAN apparently make money selling number picking systems to suckers (just as you can make money selling real estate Million$$ systems). ☺

Try the 317 369 n 888 methods. Great results for me in the pick 3

This is statistics, as it clearly says in the title. What were you expecting?

The Lottery is Fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly. I clicked off at 1:27🏴

In some places that might be true, but where I live I actually showed you the random process that generates the draws.
