I have seen a few comps going recently, where you have to select 3 numbers, and the site doe a virtual fruint machine style spin..

are the numbers randonly selected each time, or they just teasing?

see here- about to check/update that..

    If it's the ones I'm thinking of, a few months ago I saw a post on here where someone had worked out the odds of the three numbers matching through random selection. It was ridiculously bad odds (especially compared to other comps), so I don't bother with those any more.

    3 x 2digit codes (inc 00 i think) = 100 x 100 x 100..

    1,000,000 to one chance then..
