Depends upon your drawing system...
It looks like you're choice are similar to the daily pick 3 or pick 5.
Then the chances are 1 in 10^8(100 mil)...You have 8 numbers.

What drawing r u playing for. It will depend on the range of the numbers because it is highly unlikely to get the 797979. I think the first number has a higher chance b/c they are more random. But inactuality they say all numbers have the same odds, thats why u never know whats going to come out. Just thuink if you play all three at the same time, u will triple ur chances!!!!

I don't know what lotto system you are referring to. But from a mathematical point of view you can pick any combination of numbers and you will have an equal chance of winning with any other sequence of numbers. Provided the draw is fair and random, any sequence can win.

Equal.
In all 3 cases your odds of winning = 0.
