For this program I had to make the A numbers be 85 numbers.
There is a note at the bottom of the program explaining why.


Here is that note:

Why 85 A Numbers?
Texas uses Pre-Testing which is an "unofficial drawing that tests the
machine and the ball sets used for a Pick 3 drawing. Pre-tests ensure that
the drawing machine is working well and that balls are drawn in a random
way." These drawings are not counted. Therefore, the Pick 3 results you see
in Texas are not "normal" because they do not take into account the result
of the Pre-Testing drawings. I bring this up because I was not able to get
to the desired 60% coverage for the A numbers with 75 numbers. The codes
have a unique distribution in Texas. They are not as “centralized” as
they are in New York or Florida. I had to use 85 numbers to reach 60%
coverage for the A numbers. Most of these A numbers are singles. The B
numbers in Texas are about half singles and half doubles and most of the
doubles are concentrated on the C list.
