Colorado Pick 3 — positional
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.

Reading this honestly
Each cell shows how often a digit landed in a particular slot. If the draws are fair, every slot should look like 0–9 picked from a hat — about 10% each, with sample noise. Any heat pattern you can see by eye is almost certainly within that noise band.
