Pick 3 — North Carolina Lottery · Updated July 2026
Pair frequency analysis for North Carolina Pick 3 shows which two-digit combinations appear together most often across drawings. With three positions producing three possible pairs per draw, certain pairs naturally accumulate higher counts.
The top pairs table lists the 20 most frequent digit pairs with count and percentage. The 10x10 heatmap shows co-occurrence frequency for every possible pair, with warmer colors indicating more frequent pairings.
Pair frequency is influenced by individual digit frequency. If digit 5 and digit 7 are both common, the 5-7 pair will naturally be common. High pair frequency does not indicate a special connection.
