  Wonder if anyone has ever hit for anything, on the LP QP generator?

  Depending on how long this tool has been in use, it would be interesting to see if it's worth playing some live numbers vs Lottery QP's.

  Well, Quick Picks are not a system, so I'm not sure you would judge it by how many wins it records.  Quick Picks should be "totally random numbers, devoid of patterns", and in that regard the LP Quick Picks generator should do much better than the quick picks that come out of the lottery terminals.

  And these are the high quality 

  10 QP lines from Lottery Post's    Quick Picks Generator, (I will change all the bonus numbers to 14)

  1. 02-24-41-53-59  + 31
  2. 04-14-20-22-27  + 16
  3. 01-20-32-40-53  + 04
  4. 08-09-13-30-33  + 31
  5. 09-21-34-49-56  + 08
  6. 08-15-22-26-48  + 17
  7. 08-09-15-20-52  + 34
  8. 42-44-46-53-55  + 25
  9. 14-16-20-33-58  + 22
  10. 04-05-12-37-54  + 33

  To be perfectly frank, I prefer the terminal generated QP's numbers, over the LP QP's. IMHO.

  Well now that was a bit of a "snap" judgement mcginnin56, don't you think???         

  There hasn't even been a drawing yet???

  I was in no way inferring it was a system.

  The results will speak for themselves, from actual members who have used the LP QP generator, vs terminal generated QP's.

  Look forward to your results Ronnie316!

  Just giving you my "gut" on the numbers randomness, based on my personal "non-professional" opinion, which is what I thought you wanted.

  Perhaps if the numbers were on actual tickets, there would be a more atheistically pleasing appearance

  Will the "original" bonus ball numbers from the LP generated picks be factored when you do your assessment?

  I dont use random bonus numbers so I was mainly interested in the 5 number combination.

  That would be like saying President Obama would be more pleasing to the American voters, if he just wore blue jeans and sneakers.

  Does it really change anything about his character or record.

  You're still looking at Quick Picks as if they "should win if they're good".  You said, "The results will speak for themselves..."  The results have nothing to do with anything.  The test is whether the random numbers have a truly random distribution or not.  It does not have anything to do with whether they win or not.

  That's a very good point  mcginnin56, but as Todd pointed out in the case of random number combinations (and some presidents I suppose) the character and record are of no importance whatsoever 

  Its the quaity of the randomness that counts.....

  I'm under the impression most members, whether savvy system players or otherwise, are looking for some financial gain from their plays.

  Whether it be a RNG, or self-picks, I personally would be more inclined to play those numbers, that have demonstrated some regular hits.

  I had some great luck with terminal generated QP's, and would simply like to hear back from others who are currently using LP QP's.

   

  Your "truly random distrubtion" statement is not falling on deaf ears. But whether they win or not, is an important criterion to me.

  This test is as good a place to start as any, but a real story would be told if one could somehow create two groups of players in a live drawing and have half of them use the LP generator and the other half use the terminal with both groups spending equal dollar amounts.

   

  I think we are tempted to see terminal picks as the best because of how many wins come from that grouping. This, however, follows the same logic of the conspiracy theorists who claim CA and NY win most of the JPs and the only way to have a fair chance of winning would be to play in one of those states.
