A tree is similar to a wheeling system, but used for daily number games. Primarily, a tree system is a way of organizing numbers to play for a straight win so that potential combinations are not missed.

| Triple |
|
A three- or four-digit number that contains three of the same digit. Examples: 111, 444, 5556, 2322. There are only 10 three-digit Triples and one should appear every 100 days. There are 360 four-digit triple combinations and one should show up every 28 days. The rarity of four-digit triples usually results in greatly-increased boxed payouts (there are 90 boxed combinations); as a result, it's good advice to play four-digit Triples boxed.
