tiggs95,

Maybe the Georgia lottery's website has some information on this.

I'm sure in states that do let players mix their numbers and quick picks that the terminal reads how many numbers were selected and then looks for the amount of numbers it takes to complete the ticket.

Since the technology is already there, it's too bad all states don't have this feature. I don't think it helps the players' odds one bit, but it would be fun.

The Ky lottery responed to me and said Ky does not have that option..You have to pick all the numbers or the machine will pick all the numbers..You can play 5 numbers on the play slip and have the machine pick the powerball or you can pick the powerball or you can pick the powerball and the machine can pick the 5 numbers and that's the only options you have here in Ky..

The same phrase is also on the back of an old Hoosier Lottery PowerBall play slip I have. I haven't been to Indiana to play PB since its last matrix change so that may have changed since then.

I looked at the back of my powerball slip and it does not say to play 3 or any other amount of numbers..It says to pick 5 numbers and a PB number or the machine will pick the numbers for you..I've lived in Ky since 1993 and been playing lottery here that long and think I would have heard of it before..Good luck in your picks..

Tiggs, Check the back of your PB playslip. I'm not sure if it's the same in all states but in TN it says mark QP and the computer will randomly pick any or all of your numbers.

It's #3 on How To Use A Powerball Playslip. Again though, I don't know if it's the same for all states.

This is the first time I've heard of this..I wrote the Ky lottery and asked if this is true in Ky..New to me if it's true..

Tiggs, Just mark in whatever numbers you want and also mark it Quick Pick and the computer will fill in the rest of the numbers up to the required six. Good luck.

Hey tiggs,

In one play in Powerball

You can pick a few numbers, and then let the Computer (terminal) Q-pick the rest,

I've been playing like that for some time now.

When Pumpi says they might need to change the rules a little.......

All States don't let you do that.

BTW....Pumpi It's usually Three and Three for me, (but it's ok to mix it up a little

Maybe I'm stupid?..How would you get the lotto machine to pick 3 numbers for your power ball ticket and you pick the other 3?..The machine always picks all 6 numbers..I alo think there have been more QP winners in power ball then anyother way of winning?..Maybe I misunderstood the first post?..

I should have said Ohio's Rolling Cash 5 (5/39) pays $300 for matching 4 numbers; Kentucky doesn't have a pick-5 game. When I lived in Ohio, Rolling Cash 5 was my game of choice as was its predecessor Buckeye 5 (5/37).

I worked with a guy that won the Buckeye 5 jackpot keying 3 numbers with all the other numbers so it does work.

Stack47,

...2 four number matches @ $300 each)

Does KY pay $300 for 4 of 5?

Illinois' 5/39 game pays $100.

Even if you pick 3 numbers, have the terminal to pick 3 numbers, the other 3 will be numbers you didn't use and the ticket will show all six numbers in numerical order because lotto tickets are always from low to high. The position they are drawn means absolutely nothing.

If the idea is to use the same 3 digits will all the other numbers, you would have many more combination using QPs because there would be duplicate numbers. In a 6/52 the minimum is 13 combinations to use your picked 3 numbe... [ More ]

This is correct. I just read the back of a Win For Life, Fantasy5 and MM slips and it say's, if you prefer to select some of your own numbers and have the terminal randomly select the rest; fill in the appropiate boxes and mark the quick pick box. Oddly, it doesn't say how many; whether 1,2,3,4 or etc. All the games above have this option. I live in GA and I never knew this. Thanks Pumpi. Now to see if I can use this to my advantage.

not only that but make this the Only option ...meaning that eliminate the old quick picks...Let this one be the only quick pick form that exist and you will see something...There will be more Jackpot winners everyday...

pumpi76 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 07:50:43 GMT

It has to be: ONLY 3 AND 3....It cannot be 2 and 4 or 4 and 2...I am talking you pick3 numbers from 1 combination and the quick picks selects 3 numbers FOR THE SAME COMBINATION....And actually i was talking about you either select the first 3 and the computer selects the last 3 of the same combination...Or the computer selects the first 3 for the same combination and you select the last 3 of the same combination....That's what i meant...IT WILL CREATE MORE WINNERS...

Ok, how about this. For Pick-5 or Pick-6 mark two numbers on the play slip and check the Quick Pick box. In Florida the terminal will quick pick the remaining numbers. Purchase one ticket.

Mark the terminal's picks in enough play panels that you can enter all the remaining numbers. For a 6/54 game, the terminal will already have four and your first two, that leaves 48 number or 24 play panels to add two numbers to until they are all used up.

If the terminal's picks come in, you must... [ More ]

Pumpi,

Someone here on LP said that the Georgia lottery does this, you can mix your numbers and comoputer picks on the same line of numbers.

Apparently it doesn't increase the nnumber of jackpot winners, though.

pumpi76 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:08:09 GMT

This is an unthought of idea...but you got to change the rules a bit..IS very simple and it has been staring us all in the face...Want to know what is it???

The answer is: QUICK PICKS THAT SELECTS 3 NUMBERS AND YOU SELECT THE OTHER 3 numbers...The reason why people dont win with quick picks is because quick picks selects 6 numbers and go through ALL THE 200 MILLION COMBINATIONS of POWERBALL...if people select 3 numbers and the computer quick pick selects the other 3 numbers there is bound to
