Interesting comment re: Quick Picks

And you know this how? There are over 50,000 members on this board and not all of them post. How do you know none of them havn't already won a jackpot or will in the future? 

 No one knows WHO will win a jackpot, in fact someone might win more than one time. If we felt we couldn't win, we wouldn't play.

And if you don't win,what do we get out of it?

What are you talking about, if I don't win then that proves my system didn't work doesn't it.?

Well,since I'm not a big believer in systems,I'm pretty sure that yours isn't the one that "will change the world forever",to use your words.

However,my comment had to do with your habit of baiting people into an argument and then crying that people are picking on you.I was hoping that maybe you'd give us a break from that.

Unfortunately, there is no way to determine which combinations are unlikely to be drawn.

100% of the time, no, but the majority of the time, yes. There are some things that go on more than 95% of the time when a new result comes out. I can understand how you don't believe me though because when you see lottery results for a Pick 6 game, the only thing you're looking at is 6 numbers that were randomly chosen. The thing is, there's more to it than that. Those 6 winning numbers as an entirety have characteristics that can be compared to the last drawing. Going through the previous results, each time comparing those characteristics to the characteristics of the drawing before it, you will see there are differences and similiarities that you can use to find out what sets are not most likely to occur on the next drawing. Problem is, since we're dealing with millions of possible combinations, the only effective way of finding sets that are considered good is by writing a computer program. This is the closest description I have given of my system without giving it away. Trust me, it's there.

Sure, it's rare to see combinations that start that high, but that's only because there are so few combinations that can be made from the few numbers available. What's much more rare is having the combination you played come out.

I'm sure he knows plenty that most players don't know. That doesn't mean he knows anything that's beneficial to anyone who's already  moderately knowledgeable. If QP generators make any effort to avoid duplication (the only readily available evidence says they attempt to generate combinations randomly) then it shouldn't matter when you buy the ticket. If you buy the very first ticket, the machines will attempt to not use your number for any subsequent tickets. If you buy the very last ticket the machine will attempt to give you a number that hasn't been used. I don't see any reason why your ticket, having been bought last, would be less likely to match some previous ticket than some subsequent ticket would be to match the first ticket sold.

If you couldn't tell, I was using sarcasm

"then crying that people are picking on you", When?

They have faith in probability. There may be 50,000 people who have visited LP at one time or another, but there are no where near that many that can be reasonably considered members as of now. A thread that is popular and sticks around for a while may get 2500 "views", but that doesn't mean 2500 people have looked at it. Each time you look at a page of the thread it counts as a view, so a thread that shows 2500 views and is 10 pages long has been looked at by no more than 250 people, and that assumes that nobody looked at any of the pages more than once.

If we figure that there are 5000 people who could be considered members, and 2500 of them spend an average of $1000 per year on jackpot games, then as a collective, LP members buy 2.5 million tickets each year. That means that we could expect one of them to win MM or PB once every 60 to 70 years, and a typical state game about once every 10 years. I'm guessing that my figure of 2.5 million tickets per year is high, so an LP member winning would be even less likely. Saying that nobody here is going to win isn't much of a risk.
