So it was a Quick Pick

Original Blog Entry: one number up x2

I'd have gotten four numbers (123.50) midday if I had 26 instead of 27 and 29 instead of 28. I had 3-27-28-31-34. I just realised also that if I halved the 34 I'd have split the jackpot with the addition of the two numbers up one. So maybe that's another strategy too, get rid of an even high number and half it.

One lucky person $60,531.53; I am curious if it was a QP

So what is the lesson? I already know the lesson. Losing due to one number up or one number down has happened to me so many times not to know the lesson. The problem with the lesson is you can't really learn from it because at the end of the day it's still a gamble; because you don't know which numbers to one up or one down or up one twice or down one twice.

I guess what I could experiment with is get a QP and then buy five more plays altering the QP numbers in varying forms of one number up and down. And then another day I choose my own numbers and one up or down five extra plays.
