Ok I hope I don't contradict myself here......

Let's say I want to play MM and I decide I'm going to buy QP's so I take a walk around the corner and purchase my tickets from the gas station. The numbers are drawn and guess what....all 6 numbers matched. Call it luck, coincidence, call it whatever you want. Obviously if I had waited to purchase my tickets say even by a few minutes I would have a completely different set of numbers and the outcome would be different......in a sense yes I was at...

I see it as quite the opposite. when someone hits a jackpot on a QP, which is the most common, not only did they ask for the ticket the exact nano-second the loto machine spits out that set of numbers, but then those numbers are drawn.

Or take the case of the guy in Indiana who played his own numbers, his five kids' birthday years, for 20 years. One day he went to play his ticket, had forgottne his glasses, and played 48 instead of 46, and won $3,000,000.

That smacks of righ... [ More ]

Sorry Dollar419 I don't buy your theory of having to be at the right place at the right time.

If I select my numbers I'll say for MM since we can both play that game......it doesn't matter if I buy my ticket today, tommorrow, Monday night or Tues. an hour before the drawing....the numbers I choose will still be the same and either they hit or they don't. I don't believe if my numbers hit it was because I bought them at 1:00pm Sunday at 7/11 instead of Tuesday at 5:00pm at the gas station on m... [ More ]

Whether it is either QPs or your selected numbers-- the bottom line is that you have to be at the right place and right time in buying your lotto tickets i.e. LUCK OF DRAW. The CA winner of last week's 166.5MM Mega Million jackpot happen to purchased his ticket at a restaurant and spend only $1.00. If it was a QP or his selected numbers I doubt it would it have made a difference

LOL...thanks for giving me that knock on the head because I needed it. You're right about everything. I think I'll stick to what I've been doing....lol....and when I do a quick pick it will be from the grocery store. Thanks for responding

Hello? You've hit more on picking your own numbers......that should be your answer right there. LOL now to add to your confusion.......

I hit 5 out of 6 numbers on CA Super Lotto from a ticket I bought from a self serve machine and yup it was in the grocery store and it was a lousy QP at that.

I think the reason more tickets win from gas stations vs the grocery store is because more tickets are purchased from the gas stations...........

Just as I think more QP's win vs self picks becaus... [ More ]

I just don't know what to do. Actually, I've hit more on picking my own numbers than on quick picks. Sometimes I wonder if it would be better to buy your quick picks at a grocery store instead of a gas station...but all of the winners seem to be at gas stations. Who knows....

i bought $20.00 of qp's first of 2009.i put them on slip,and have not hit more then 2 numbers all year from this,so maybe it matters where you buy these quickpicks is my theory.

Thanks...I'd been wondering about that...Who is Jack Whittaker? or What lottery did he win

Jack whittaker bought 100 tickets when he won....I believe Mr. Jackson bought 2 lines on his, but said he spent $1 to much cause the winner was the first line....I wouldn't give that theory much thought.....

I've noticed that to be a frequent question. I found out yesterday that Mr Jackson's ticket apparently must have been a qp...he's always bought a ticket to support education and most have gone right in the trash after they were purchased being a big supporter of education...this time he just happened to for some reason still have the ticket...the 19 year old that won 35 mil in SC played a ticket using the birthdays of family members.....Therefore, my question????Are winning tickets not just quic...

They say that approx 75% of the winners are quick picks,,,,They say that approx 75% of the sales are quick picks also...I would imagine that due to the size of the jackposts that most of the larger ones have been quick pics, because so many more people purchase them, then when the jackposts are under 100 mill.

Do Quick Picks win more jackpots?

dopey7719 — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 12:59:26 GMT

Has anyone here done a study or researched whether there have been more jackpots won (Powerball and/or Mega Millions) with a quick pick versus numbers someone picked?

Just from memory it seems as if in the last few years, the majority of winners won via a quick pick. Any statistics on this?

Thanks
