Record Mass. Lottery sales, despite high fuel prices

Is there any method or system that can an predict the first digit that will fall in Pick 3
Let's try this with the simple game of Pick 3.
In Pick 3, there are 1,000 combinations, from 000 to 999, all of which have the same probability of being the winning combination.
Let's say you purchase one ticket. You pick 567 and bet $1. If the winning combination is 567, you win $500. Your chances of winning is 1 in 1000, because you have bet on one combination out of 1,000 equally likely combinations.
