This dataset consists of 218 3-digit numbers (from 000 to 999) resulting from the state of Maryland's Pick-3 Lottery. The data was collected for the 32-week period September 3, 1989 to April 14, 1990. One 3-digit random number was drawn per day, 7 days per week for most weeks, but 6 or 5 days per week for other weeks. Interesting data-analytic questions involving the dataset are 1) are the lottery numbers uniformly distributed? and 2) is there serial correlation between lottery numbers?
