RJOH...tell me where you read that the QP system usually picks a winner when it has picked about 50% of the possible combinations. If that were the case a MM draw would have had to sell an astronomical amount of tickets.

Sorry I don't remember where I read that but if you compare overall ticket sales with the total numbers of QP winners the numbers would be even higher. I don't depute that the winning numbers are random but I was talking about systems used by players... [ More ]

The previous drawings that didn't produce any winners also have to be counted when figuring out how many tickets are sold to produce a winner. The 10/17 winner was the result of sales of about 107 million tickets, give or take. If the annuity prize was 55 million the cash prize was about 32 million. At 30 cents from each ticket that would take sales of about 107 million tickets.

For the 9/15 drawing there would have been total ticket sales of about 315 million tickets, or enough to cover n... [ More ]

Let's review the last MM winner (October 17th for $55m) which was won by a quick pick. There were $18,325,611 tickets sold for that draw. If 70% were quick picks (a good number) that means there were 12.8 million or so quick picks for this draw. Based upon odds of 1:175M... [ More ]

I think you've failed to account for the QP's that are sold for drawings that don't produce a winner. QPs don't typically produce a winner when half of the combinations have been played. QP's produce a winner when enough have been sold to cover the odds. For PB there's about 1 winning QP for every 145 million, and for MM there's about 1 winning QP for every 176 million. Typically, a lot of those QP's are sold in the drawings that produce no winners.

The Quick Pick Law of Diminishing Luck

The Lucky QP is the sole QP you buy.

This is so true. I have a simple 11 number per draw system for the P3--it 100% of the times gives at least 1 straight per month...enough to earn a small profit every month. Whenever I find the lag goinbg for too long and stop playing the system for a few days..the day I check is the day it hits...

Hey this thread is getting to be better than I expected what with all these great rules and theorems...

15th Law of Systemantics:

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that works even better.

Is that not the truth!

Spend all day churning out numbers......grandma's observation of a license plate will win.

No, 12 million tickets should do it if you're lucky, but make sure you don't buy the same combination twice and the cash value of the jackpot is enough to cover the price of the tickets.

Well lets see:

The Florida Lottery is about 24 million to one. So If I buy about 16.8 million tickets as quick picks, I should on a good day, maybe hit. However, each quick pick is still 24 million to one.

I have now gained a great deal of confidence, now all I have to do is come up with $16.8 million.

I agree and proof is the QuickPick system* which is totally random but picks 70% of the jackpot winners. The question is How many combinations must a system* pick before it's likely to pick a winner? . From what I've read the QP system* usually pick a winner when it has picked about 50% or more of the possible combinations and for the lower tier prizes it matches the odds. Once in a while someone using that system hits the jackpot when less than 50% of the possible combinations have been so... [ More ]

Rule #2:

If you have a 'system' you like, resist all temptation to deviate from it. As soon as you change, your 'former system' will hit.

Call it the Fibonacci Rule if you want:

Any system* used will sooner or later produce winning hits. Therefore the key is make your system churn out as few possible hits as possible per draw and then be consistent and stick with the system.

You must stay ahead of the game.
