Colorado Pick 3 — coverage
Three digits, 0–9, drawn by the Colorado Lottery since April 2013. Evening-only until December 2016, when a Midday draw was added — so the two streams cover different spans. Colorado runs no 4-digit game. Outcome space: 1,000 combinations.

This is the classic coupon-collector view: how many unique numbers have ever been drawn, as time marches on. It rises fast at first, then crawls — exactly the curve a fair process produces. Twice-a-day draws “cover” faster only because there are more of them.
