I know how to create mass winners of Pick6/52 & PB Jackpots: Got to change the rules a littlePrevious TopicNext Topic

This is an unthought of idea...but you got to change the rules a bit..IS very simple and it has been staring us all in the face...Want to know what is it???

The answer is: QUICK PICKS THAT SELECTS 3 NUMBERS AND YOU SELECT THE OTHER 3 numbers...The reason why people dont win with quick picks is because quick picks selects 6 numbers and go through ALL THE 200 MILLION COMBINATIONS of POWERBALL...if people select 3 numbers and the computer quick pick selects the other 3 numbers there is bound to be more PB & Pick6/54 winners than the average 1 or 2 winners per jackpot...lol..if you do it this way jackpots will not even climb...

Pumpi,

Someone here on LP said that the Georgia lottery does this, you can mix your numbers and comoputer picks on the same line of numbers.

Apparently it doesn't increase the nnumber of jackpot winners, though.

Ok, how about this.  For Pick-5 or Pick-6 mark two numbers on the play slip and check the Quick Pick box.  In Florida the terminal will quick pick the remaining numbers.   Purchase one ticket. 

Mark the terminal's picks in enough play panels that you can enter all the remaining numbers.  For a 6/54 game, the terminal will already have four and your first two, that leaves 48 number or 24 play panels to add two numbers to until they are all used up. 

If the terminal's picks come in, you must have a 4 number Pick-5 win or a 5 number Pick-6 win guaranteed with a 1 in 49 chance of the 6th number.

Do you feel lucky?  Well do you?

It has to be: ONLY 3 AND 3....It cannot be 2 and 4 or 4 and 2...I am talking you pick3 numbers from 1 combination and the quick picks selects 3 numbers FOR THE SAME COMBINATION....And actually i was talking about you either select the first 3 and the computer selects the last 3 of the same combination...Or the computer selects the first 3 for the same combination and you select the last 3 of the same combination....That's what i meant...IT WILL CREATE MORE WINNERS...

if you do it where you pick 3 any position of the same combination and the computer picks the other 3 numbers in any position IT WILL NOT WORK...

make all the quick picks of the state have this option and there will be more first prize jackpot winners....

not only that but make this the "Only option"...meaning that eliminate the old quick picks...Let this one be the only quick pick form that exist and you will see something...There will be more Jackpot winners everyday...

This is correct. I just read the back of a "Win For Life, Fantasy5 and MM slips" and it say's, if you prefer to select some of your own numbers and have the terminal  randomly select the rest; fill in the appropiate boxes and mark the quick pick box. Oddly, it doesn't say how many; whether 1,2,3,4 or etc. All the games above have this option.  I live in GA and I never knew this. Thanks Pumpi.  Now to see if I can use this to my advantage.

Even if you pick 3 numbers, have the terminal to pick 3 numbers, the other 3 will be numbers you didn't use and the ticket will show all six numbers in numerical order because lotto tickets are always from low to high. The position they are drawn means absolutely nothing.

If the idea is to use the same 3 digits will all the other numbers, you would have many more combination using QPs because there would be duplicate numbers. In a 6/52 the minimum is 13 combinations to use your picked 3 numbers with the other numbers. If you let the terminal pick them, you might have hundreds of tickets before you had all the remaining numbers. 

If your idea it make the lotto a pick-3 game, there are 22,100 three number combos in a 6/52 lotto. After beating those odds by selecting the right 3 numbers, you have beat odds of 18,424 to 1 to hit the jackpot.

It's more realistic to try that in a 5/39 pick-5 where there are 9139 three number combos and if matching two numbers pays a buck, you could make a small profit by matching only two of your picked numbers. For $18 you can use your 3 numbers with all the rest and get back a minimum of $45 by matching two. The minimum for matching all three is $760 (16 three number matches @ $10 each and 2 four number matches @ $300 each) and giving you a 1 in 35 chance of winning the jackpot.

Stack47,

"...2 four number matches @ $300 each)"

Does KY pay $300 for 4 of 5?

Illinois' 5/39 game pays $100.

I should have said Ohio's Rolling Cash 5 (5/39) pays $300 for matching 4 numbers; Kentucky doesn't have a pick-5 game. When I lived in Ohio, Rolling Cash 5 was my game of choice as was its predecessor Buckeye 5 (5/37).

I worked with a guy that won the Buckeye 5 jackpot keying 3 numbers with all the other numbers so it does work.

Maybe I'm stupid?..How would you get the lotto machine to pick 3 numbers for your power ball ticket and you pick the other 3?..The machine always picks all 6 numbers..I alo think there have been more QP winners in power ball then anyother way of winning?..Maybe I misunderstood the first post?..

Hey tiggs,

  In one play in Powerball

You can pick a few numbers,  and then let the Computer (terminal) Q-pick the rest,

  I've been playing like that for some time now.

When Pumpi says they might need to change the rules a little.......

  All States don't let you do that.

      BTW....Pumpi   It's usually Three and Three  for me,      (but it's ok to mix it up a little)

Tiggs, Just mark in whatever numbers you want and also mark it Quick Pick and the computer will fill in the rest of the numbers up to the required six. Good luck.

This is the first time I've heard of this..I wrote the Ky lottery and asked if this is true in Ky..New to me if it's true..

Tiggs, Check the back of your PB playslip. I'm not sure if it's the same in all states but in TN it says mark QP and the computer will randomly pick any or all of your numbers.

It's #3 on How To Use A Powerball Playslip. Again though, I don't know if it's the same for all states.

I looked at the back of my powerball slip and it does not say to play 3 or any other amount of numbers..It says to pick 5 numbers and a PB number or the machine will pick the numbers for you..I've lived in Ky since 1993 and been playing lottery here that long and think I would have heard of it before..Good luck in your picks..
