  That's actually a pretty interesting question. I thought it would be really interesting to do a side-by-side comparison exactly as you stated the question. I didn't have any Pick 3 data, so I looked around and discovered that Florida makes available the results of their Pick 2 draws. So, let's conduct a little experiment. I did exactly what you suggested, I took the Florida P2 data, lined it up with the P3 data from exactly the same date, then stripped the first digit off the P3 numbers to create the experimental two-digit Modified P3 dataset that you suggested. Then I ran the numbers. By which I mean, I computed the frequency of each P2 number. I plotted those below side-by-side sorted by frequency. Take a look and see what you think! P.S. For the Stats folks for this dataset n=3846.

  So you tell me, other than that peculiar 74 in the actual P2 set which fell 57 times, those sets look extremely similar to me. What else could we do with these datasets? Analyze by digit? Look for patterns? Other ideas?
