Q.picks for me have gone both ways..i lost with them some and won with them when i thought they were total crap..its just luck at the end....

I dont know exactly what it will feel to have MIllions $$$...NObody here i guess really knows what their live can turn to if they won millions...I don't cause i never had anything close to that....my max bank account had ~$6000 at one time no more than that ...so WE CAN SAY stuff like we'll be responsible and not blow it and all that but its not SURE......

This is perhaps the sad thing about those who are lucky enough to win a jackpot lottery...they play with the dream as you say it to escape their current paycheck to paycheck existence, live high on the hog for awhile, don't establish a plan and end up right back where they started. Now I know not everyone who wins has that experience and I know that it is not just the poor and working class poor that squander their winnings (damn, I hate saying the name but we all know a one Mr. Jack Whitacker)....

I play both QPs and OPs: the way I see it is that if those 6 balls that roll for that drawing happens to match all 6 of the numbers on one line of my jackpot game ticket, I am a winner regardless of the method used to determine those numbers on my ticket. All I need now is LUCK to strike me

Depending on a lottery's software you may be able to select part of the numbers then check QP and let the computer pick the rest.

In Georgia you can do it on all games other than Cash 3 and Cash 4 mid and eve. Unsure about Keno.

I've read more than once that the largest percentage of lottery ticket buyers are lower middle class and down from there. Thus, these are the types of neighborhods/areas you find these types of folks.

Makes sense. I see poor, hard working people in my area (many times minority) spend (what looks to be) half there pay checks to have a chance to escape theyre horrible blue collar existences.

Funny, I had the opposite theory. I always went a little out of my way to go to the crowded stores in the wealthy areas since I would see people buying 10 and 20 tickets at a time. So I figured more were being sold, increasing my chances. But I agree it's a crapshoot and we never know when or where that lucky ticket will be printed. Since I won a little last night, I bought a couple of QPs tonight and got nothing. From now on, I think I'll stick to my budget and just play the cards I walk i... [ More ]

So far it's been the opposite with me. I tend to do better with my own numbers. I don't completely rule out buying quick picks though. Somedays I just don't feel like coming up with my own numbers so I get a qp.

I play QP all the time as the numbers for family members birthdays have not been drawn in PB or MM for years.

Haven't won much, but the wins are starting to increase in number as has the $$ that has been won so far. At this rate, I should be the PB jackpot winner in August 2015. HAHAHA

Same here. I do better with qps than choosing my numbers.

I win on quick picks sometimes, but since I pick my own numbers the majority of the time, it doesn't happen much to begin with.

I dont play quick picks but my husband does, and he only wins on his quick picks, but still very little-no more than $10 so far. I actually won $67 on a fluke QP but as a rule I dont like them.

I have 39 pools.. All of those are qp....

I pick my own pb numbers.. That is how I tell the numbers apart ... and of course records are kept on the tickets that are pools with each pool having a pool number and the players name.

I played quick picks for years with an elaborate strategy.

I had it in my head (theorized) that most/many wins were by quick picks from dingy stores in run down low income areas. Therefore I would go out of my way to play a few tickets from a cross section of these types of stores every day. I know many others have tried that too (playing in a number of stores)

At best, I came up with a few 2nd prizes. I now realize that they (along with scatch offs) are nothing but a crapshoot..and the... [ More ]

Sometimes, I won 1080 by qp . I bought 10 qps any order for 50 cents. It cost me 5.00. The number 116 came up and Iput 6.00 on it . Played combo, two tickets. So total cost to win that much was 11.00

I voted sometimes only because I won like 2+ dollars in the past. But from some time I just don't buy QPs anymore.

I would rather write my own program to generate ideal quick picks (even low/high/odd/even distribution, etc) than buy a QP.

I don't buy quick picks too often, but the most I've won when I have bought a quick pick is a few dollars. So I picked sometimes.
