At the old Maybelle site, there was a guy by the name of Lucky Ducky that posted a fixed list of pick3 numbers that have 6-12 hits a day somewhere in the country. He said it was magic, but he really was just matching the odds(1/220) of having a boxed hit with over 45 mid-day and evening drawings every day.

What was really funny was Lucky Ducky went head to head with the psychic Ken who was a big number seller and Lucky Ducky won !!! He was doing all states 24 picks, never had less then 32 wins in a week often had more and the reality was if someone played all his picks in all the states they would have lost money though there were some states he made a profit in and others he rarely hit.
A system that won all the time for Pick-3 wouldn't be worth billions, nor even millions, work out how many $1.00 straight or boxed bets you'd have to make to get a million back. Most states will block numbers once a certain amount has been wagered on them. Show up at the 7/11 with 30 grand to buy tickets with a couple of times (as most states take only cash for lottery bets) and see who's waiting for you with clubs and chains.
Do some serious math on what playing your system would mean on a personal level to your customers, see if they would all show a profit or like sports wagers you spread all the numbers around and some will always win, but none make a profit over time.
We miss you Lucky Ducky, Quack Quack Quack !!!
