what are the odds for a boxed 8 number wheel

[foreverbob]

Hello all,
Been a while....
I was wondering if anyone can help me out:
What are the odds for a boxed 8 number wheel in pick3 (singles or doubles)?
Its 56 tickets but I would like to know what the probability of winning this kind of bet would be.

All help is much appreciated!!
Bob

I got 8c3 = 56 singles (a,b,c) +
8c2 = 28 doubles (a,b), * 2, for 28 (a,a,b) + 28 (a,b,b)

total 112/220 combos

Taking 56 * 6 (ways to fall) + 28 * 2 * 3 (ways to fall) = 504/1000

thanks for your reply, so 8 boxed singles into 56 tickets would we 336/1000 ?
And doubles would be 168/1000?

Is that correct?

That's what I got.
