yes, thanks for pointing that out. Yes the odds are 1 in 1000, but the payout for the pick 3 straight is usually around $200-$300 dollars. I NJ, the pick 4 usually pays out $1500-$2000....when a plane crashed here a while back, everyone played the numbers of the flight, and the payout straight was $14. Because there were many many people that played the numbers, it made the payout low. One can only imagine how many people played 911 in NY last night, so you could have bet the payout would have only been $5 for straight, but they said they were going to pay out $500. kind of spooky that it one, but the lotto headquaters said they would pay high for it. Nice jesture.
