The winning Massachusetts The Numbers Game numbers for August 17, 2008 were: midday 6-5-8-1; evening 3-5-8-3.
Sum is the digits added together (5+5+0 = 10). Root sum keeps adding until one digit is left (10 → 1+0 = 1) — many regular players track it in their notebooks. Odd/Even marks each digit O or E (5-5-0 = OOE). High/Low marks 0–4 as L and 5–9 as H (5-5-0 = HHL).
