Every once in a while I add a quick pick to my own picks. It can't hurt, but I like to choose my own numbers.

where are you getting your fantasy 5 info?

I just check my terminal for fantasy 5 results for the last 2 weeks and every single one had low numbers in them.

So the game above DC Daily 6 a 6/39 game the QP matched 4 of my pix the odds were 1:219 on consecutive lines (my pick vs. QP). I think it is a little more than coincidence on consecutive lines. The discussion is about self picks leading the QP output.

Players who pick some or all of their numbers are never satisfied with QPs because they have an idea of what a QPs should look like and they're hardly ever right. Chances are if you buy all QPs, there would be some duplicates too.

In most games your odds of have two numbers of any other combination is 1:10 or better so you're are likely to have duplicates unless you choose all your own numbers to avoid that happening.

6/49 game.

We went thru this last August and the answer is IMHO yes.

Here is a post from that thread:

Ok here you go I haven't checked results but tonight I spent a little more time to examine what the machine gave versus the picks I made with 15 lines from a wheel.

I did a line to line check of my numbers versus the QP's generated, there were only 2 lines that had no numbers duplicated by the DCQPicker, there were 5 lines that had 1 number duplica... [ More ]

I play my own numbers as well as the insta picks, I think that if I don't win on one combination I may win on the other.

I don't want to miss a chance to win a jackpot.

OK..I missed your point.

I have to admit, with all my brainy attempts, I can honestly say I've won more from either a real strong hunch, to literal visions like 400 a couple of years ago in Florida, Illinois, and other methods aside from my own.

Find the balance and learn from the relationship between QPs and your own.

Okay - but that wasn't my complaint! I said I got a QP with EVERY number 20 or over. Sure, if I had gotten a few numbers in the 30s, that would be different.

Just in case - yes, KY Floyd, I know it's random and each combination has an equal chance of winning.

Pac, did you see my post where I got 4/5 on Mon? Had I continued to play the same 5 numbers that I call my regular numbers I would have won every single day this week. (at least a Free Ticket) (But I didn't) My birthday is 19... [ More ]

You said the first number being over 20...right?

I'm just talking about the highest numbers most often in general, not the highest first number. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought you were making the two seperate events of a QP purchase, and your own numbas correlate somehow. Like you were saying...same 3 numbers on both. I'm guessing that was the strange part...did I atleast get that part right?...lol

Yes, Pac. But you are reading the whole thing? I guess if you mean getting 2 or 3 numbers, I will agree. However, look at my first comment again. I said that the QP I got had all high numbers over 20. Then look at the Fant 5 history for the past 5 years. How can you possibly say quite often

I thinks it's a coincidinks.

btw....You should like the high numbers. In fantasy 5, statistics show that 30-36 are common folk. They like to rear their heads quite often.

I agree with KY Floyd that we remember things like this, so we might notice it more often, but this is what happens to me when I play a QP on the same card as numbers I select. Is it every time? I can't say it is, but we would never know if the player in front of us used numbers and then we got a QP based on his selection.

Coin Toss, I've done that - asked for the QP first and you're right, it won't happen. That might be a coincidence. The reason I didn't do that is because it's season... [ More ]

The stories about that sort of thing are common enough that I'm figuring the QP RNG may designed to work with a subset of the numbers in the game. If you only get QP's the RNG might first choose 10 to 15 numbers and then wheel all plays using that set of numbers. Similarly, when playing a QP on a slip with your own numbers the RNG could select some of oyur numbers and some that you didn't play and then generate random combination using those numbers. I'm not saying that does happen, only that i... [ More ]

Maybe certain numbers or runs of numbers are triggers and the terminals are programmed to look for them.

Let's face it, the technology to do so exists, the only question is whether it's being used or not.

ThatScaryChick — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 18:47:13 GMT

I've noticed that also. I do think the terminal is influenced by numbers that we pick before hand. On a set of Hot Lotto tickets I bought one day, I decided to get some quick picks as well and I ended up getting three of the numbers I choose in consective order like this 16, 17, 18. I know it can be drawn like any other numbers, but I thought it was weird that I had chosen those numbers on different lines with my picks, then the quick picks choose those numbers for one line.

By the way, I h... [ More ]

I'm with four4me on this:

Which is one reason I ask for my quick pick first.

Try taking a shot with two or three dollars and play one slip with your numbers and then a QP, and then try four4me's suggrestion, and mark another slip QP, and then your numbers.

It doesn't always happen like this, but I definitley think most of the time when you give it your numberds and then QP, you are actually programming the QP.

You know i have often wondered the same thing. Which is one reason i ask for my quick pick first. Many times when i have given the clerk my play slips and then asked for a qpick i got some of the same numbers i played on my play slips on my quick picks. So i did a little checking like i waited for one of my friends to buy a quip pick or get their personal numbers pick and then asked if i could see their qpick and they too had the same like numbers as they played on their quick picks.

I do think the terminal is influenced. That has happened to me also when I have bought my own numbers and checked the QP box. There will be a lot of my own numbers mixed in the QP's.

But don't be afraid if you're QP starts with high numbers. The higher numbers don't get played as often since people are using birthday's and such and if you should win on a high number ticket you will probably have to share it with way less people, if at all.

I know this has been discussed before (what hasn't) but do you find this happens?

Tonight I added a QP (although I said I would stop doing that) to my Lotto numbers. Instead of saying QP please I just checked a panel on one card to add the QP. I think this helps to eliminate getting mistakes like a QP for the wrong game or amount, but probably should be on a separate card.

The personal number selected starts out 13-20-27-37 and the QP starts 20-27-37. I know that any combinat... [ More ]
