What are some good “everyday” sources of random numbers?
For instance, occasionally I’ll bet with friends on the last 1-3 digits of the Dow Jones close (##,##X.XX). Even, odd, high, low, pair, etc, especially on days like today when there is no major American sport to bet on. Guess that makes me a degenerate gambler.
I believe those digits are quite random. Can anyone think of other sources? It must be something that anyone can verify from anywhere.

It’s all about making that GTA

I used to use bank note numbers and car number plates, but the latter isn't any good anymore as they use letters here.

I thought about using the last three digits of the price of Bitcoin or of gold.
Here's the Wikipedia page on the numbers game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbers_game#Gameplay.
The easiest way is to use the daily state lottery results. Use the pick-3, the last three digits of the pick-4 number, or some other permutation of the lottery numbers.
