I don't know the exact odds of getting 3 consecutive numbers on an 8 digit serial number
The odds of getting 3 consecutive of a specific digit (e.g. 7) in a specific place (e.g. the end) are 1 in 1000, or 0.1%, which is 10 times as likely as a 8-digit radar.
The odds of getting 777 at *any* place in the number are a bit over 0.55%, or roughly 1 in 181 (including the bills with four or more 7s in a row; otherwise it's about 0.51%, or 1 in 197). Obviously the odds of getting *any* three identical digits in a row at any place are higher yet.
