alot of players stopped playing because of all of the repeating of the same number!!

Reminds me of when players complained when Tennessee went over a month with no doubles in their pick-3 and pick-4 drawings. I guess it didn't occur to them the odds dropped from 1:1000 to 1:720 and from 1:10,000 to 1:5040 in the pick-4.

If the same numbers are repeating, why aren't you making a killing play the same numbers ? Just wondering.

You would think they would already have had that
