I caught the 27-36 midday. My QP was 2-05-07-27-36 and the winning combination was 3-15-17-27-36.

Looking at the winning numbers and my QP it makes me think about trying another method. I've been doing one number up/downs but if I had one number upped my 2 and then swapped the zeroes for a 1, I'd have shared the 60K. 

I am gonna stick to my altering QPs method for the rest of the month. And every zero I'll change to a 1 or a 2 or a 3 or a combination of all of them, if I don't like the single digits the machine gives me. Losing all these years sucks but this game in general is fun, thinking about ways to try and crack it. 

Although it would be hilarious if I am fortunate to win one day and it comes from a quick pick instead of all the many different ways I've been experimenting. Which would prove yet again that none of that matters. It's all about timing and luck. Because even if my one number up/down method worked it would still boil down to luck; because it's a gamble on which numbers to keep and which ones to one up/down. And now which zereos to change to 1,2 or 3.

So at the end of the day if it's meant to be for you it shall be for you. Most wins do come from QPs anyways. But I like the idea of taking my destiny into my own hands by trying different tactics. I obviously would not care though if it ended up being a QP that makes my fantasy a reality. 

I wonder how that lucky midday winner felt scanning their ticket and seeing $60,133.80 pop up on the screen. Although not everyone is a scanner. Some people like to watch the draw. Others wait for the next day and check it online. I think if you get midday tickets you're checking them soon after the draw. 

I'm a scanner. I wanna see that prize number pop up in all it's beautiful glory. It's funny though because I'd scan but still check the online results just to confirm no mistakes were made. But I still always scan first. I actually scan right after the draw because I like getting that error message, as it means that I won something, even though it's mostly a Free Ticket whenever I do get the error message. But one day the error could be the jackpot. And that's why we play.
