The Pick-3 rules are, absurdly, different around the country but are you sure you ever got stuck with the favorite in a PICK-3 in NY on a late scratch? I am sure I have been playing them here since day one and I feel like we always got a consolation.

Sadly, this is not the case in the Pick-4.

I could be thinking of occurances in the pick-4. Such was the case on belmont day when i got scratched into the favorite TWICE (adieu possibly?) which i hated in the acorn, standing against her was half of the basis for the play... I guess the way to find out is review some old charts and see if there were conso payoffs on p-3's.
