So when you play quick picks and your numbers don't hit you are screwed also. What is your point? My point is if you are going buy tickets, then why not choose numbers using prior draws to analyze the numbers and wheel those numbers and even if all your numbers don't come in you always have the chance to win mu...

Yes when playing a system and your numbers hit then of course you will win multiple prizes, but when those numbers dont hit your screwed.

Bottom line is this if its your day its your day, aint no way to beat a house edge of 50% or so... [ More ]

Since every dvent is random systems are useless especially in games that pay out such a poor %. You are wasting your time and energy. I am sure you have hit many lower tier prizes using quick picks just as a lot of other people have. But how often have you won multiple lower tier prizes on the same ticket? My guess is that if you are using quick pick... [ More ]

Nice story about the bridge detour and the customer in front of him in line influencing his decision to get a multi-draw ticket (imagine if you were that customer and heard that your influence netted millions for the guy in line behind you)! It's funny how pure luck plays out. Also, quick-pics are the way to go
