I don't think it makes a differance when you're looking for that Jackpot. I think the best way to increase your odds is playing in pool or syndicate. You may have to split the winnings, but if you do hit that jackpot, the dollar amount will still most likely be life changing

PLAYING THE SAME IDENTICAL SET OF NUMBERS EACH TIME EVERY TIME ALL THE TIME

Each combo out of a set of five self picked combos has exactly the same chance of winning the jackpot as each of five QP combos so the jackpot win potential is exactly the same.

However there are ways where a group of five self picked combos has a better overall chance of winning secondary prizes if those numbers are drawn. Playing a 5/39 pick-5 game by keying three numbers in all five combos will give five two nu... [ More ]

Some folks only play QP's, some only play their own personal numbers, some only play numbers they picked and some do a combination of these. It's just a matter of personal preference.

I play a combination, except I dont have any personal numbers. Regardless of how one chooses to play, here's what bothers me about QP's: You may get string of numbers that have already won a jackpot in the past. Think that can't or hasn't happened? There's no way to positively know, but I'm willing to bet it has... [ More ]

1 QUICK PICK TICKET PER DRAWING. Randomness is a crazy thing, is all about the unexpected.

I agree. Whether you play the same number for 1,000 draws or if you play 1,000 numbers for 1,000 draws in the Pick-3, you will still probably match the number only one time either way.

I get the winning numbers when ever I want them the day after the draw. Works every time.

I think #3 bulleted point is probably the best. I've been playing 3 sets of numbers since 1989 and have only won about $20 over the 20 years that I've been playing them. Once I saw where 4 of the numbers played and I didn't buy them that week. But, I've checked the archieve lottery winning numbers and saw that the numbers have never won a first or second prize.

Oh no, I wasn't saying I have bad luck, just that the luck I'm needing has yet to come, haha.

In less than a hundred years all of us will be rotting corpses so it really isn't all that important how you do it.

If it's fun and interesting and exciting for you the way you do it then keep doing it that way.

If it's not, then try a different way.

Odds are, no matter which way you do it you're going to lose anyway so don't obsess about it, just dream and have fun.

If you're not having fun any way you do it, you're probably in the wrong hobby.

Try bowling or binge drinking or so... [ More ]

When it comes to lotteries I think luck is sometimes over rated. After all lotteries are games of probabilities, you know all the possible out comes before you play, you just have to play the the winning one. If you play them all, you'll win for sure and if you play only a few of them you probably won't win.

I've played the same identical set of numbers and (1) QP for: MM/SL and Fantasy 5. I will keep on playing this way because my chosen numbers will eventually hit very soon GOOD LUCK TO YOU

Hitting a jackpot is luck.

Not hitting anything isn't bad luck, it's just the most likely result.

It ultimately depends on one's system of play to be perfectly honest. If you'll take your time and wait for a particular draw that works consistently then, you can play the same set of numbers each time. But, this requires being patient and waiting for the numbers that work best to show up. Otherwise, you'll need to change each time and adjust according to the draw.

Any way you decide to play can win or lose but, the idea is to win as consistently as possible while generating a descent profit... [ More ]

LOL! Gasmeterguy. Well, they have to come eventually, right? It's just a matter of patience.

I all ways play a new set of numbers,I use the last 20 draws to base my new sets on the premice of digits repeats them self .

I don't think one way is better then another or has a better chance of winning. I tend to pick my own numbers and then I usually only stick with them for a week or two at a time.

PLAYING THE SAME IDENTICAL SET OF NUMBERS EACH TIME EVERY TIME ALL THE TIME

long term, first looking how far in the past some part of the sequence ( 1) has hit, then going in with smallest possible bets into the future (this is what I do)

If you use the same set of numbers you got a reasonably good chance of hitting lower prizes once in a while.

If you only want first prize you might as well play quick pick.

I have one set of numbers I stick with for the Fantasy 5, but everything else is qp.

picking your own would be good since the other day I was buying a quick pick. 23 24 25 26 39 15 came out on the slip. I was like WTH

Playing the same set of numbers is a good way IMO because it will eventually hit. Maybe not in your life time or in a 100 life time but it will hit eventually. Lol.

Who knows...maybe the day you decide to switch up the numbers you play, your set in stone numbers might hit. Lol.

ttech10 — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 05:34:16 GMT

I think they both have the same odds in winning, since after all, the numbers are chosen at random.

Having said that... QP has been letting me down for a while now. I've been changing up the store I buy them at but that doesn't help either. At the same time, my personally chosen numbers don't do that well either. I guess I'm just unlucky.
