Maryland Pick 3 — positional

Three digits, 0–9, drawn twice daily by the Maryland Lottery (Midday + Evening). Outcome space: 1,000 combinations. Maryland publishes a rolling seven-month window, so this history starts when we began collecting and grows from there.

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.

Digital root distribution

Sum reduced to a single digit (0–9)

Digital root keeps adding digits until one is left. Reference under uniform digits ≈ 11.1% per class for 1–9, lower for 0.

root = 00 · 0.0%
root = 133 · 13.8%
root = 222 · 9.2%
