Your example is why I don't like to play QP's.

So I'm curious as to why you would still play them 10% of the time

I agree whether you QP or PP since it is all random, the chances should therotically be equal. But here is what I think, with QP, some times you may get set of numbers such as 1,2,3,4,5,6. Mathematically that set could very well be the winning set but chances are less compare to some other random set such as 5,13,14,23, 45. Just my gut feeling.

To maximize the chances of winning wouldn't you want to pick some numbers from lower group and some from upper group. Again there are no guarante... [ More ]

I like to pick my own numbers just because it's fun. However, I think I win more on QP's. As a matter of fact, my lottery pool at work won $100 on PB last night. I played $5 on numbers I picked from LP's RNG, and $5 on QP's. One of the QP's was the winner.

I won $100 on P4 in November by playing a number off LP's RNG.

I don't think it matters one way or the other.

When I play I usually do 90% my picks and 10% QP

Why?

QP will often give numbers/scenarios which have rarely been drawn or never drawn at all.

Example: The last time I played powerball, QP gave me a numbers where the lowest in the seqeunce was a 41. That was basically a waste of a chance.

In theory, all numbers and scenarios have an equal chance of happening, but I would rather take my chances with numbers that are plausible based upon the previous drawings

I like picking my own numbers, makes me feel like I am in control.

My husband plays quick picks , he has no patience for filling out bet slips.

we both get wins either way, nothing so spectular we need legal or financial assistance.

For me, I've had better luck with quick picks. I used to play regular numbers but I couldn't even get 1 number match. So I just buy quick picks now. I've won little prizes (free ticket, $2, $7) and I match numbers more often (even if I don't win a prize).

I don't think it makes a difference if you play quick pick or your own numbers. If it's your turn to win, then you'll just win.

garyo1954, RJOh,

It was stated that the totals included shared jackpots.

In case you missed it:

Including 2010, three years combined:

1096 drawings (2008 was a leap year)

453 Jackpots paid

383 QP 84.54%

243 PP 53.6%

This includes shared jackpots.

In other words, if a QP and a PP split a jackpot it would appear as 1 QP and 1 PP for the same jackpot, that's why it totals to over 100%.

Might be nice if you thought something out before you try to make someone else app... [ More ]

Ok this sounds like the tiggs I know!

Quick picks are great if you just want to be in the draw and don't want to think about what numbers to pick.

The bad is that whatever numbers the computer chooses.......those are the numbers your stuck with. I would rather randomly choose my own numbers than let a computer do it for me.

Oh Boy, I was just waiting for this to be posted again. It was just a matter of time.

What part of the following don't you understand?

The reason more JPs are won is because MORE PEOPLE PLAY THEM.

Draw your own conclusions.

2010:

150 Jackpots

65 PP 43.33%

131 QP 87.33%

My conclusions

PP 43.33% + QP 87.33% = 130.66% total picks

Thi is rom the Pick 5 Forum, the Illinois Little lotto for 2008-2010.

The game is drawn everyday. Quckm Picks are QP and Player's Picks are PP. People always say, Well most of the tickets played are quick picks , which is definitley true, but results are results. Baseball managers and football coaches go with the percentages.

Draw your own conclusions.

2010:

Tiggs and me agree on this. I can accept the possibility that some people may be able to turn a profit on a pick 3 game by figuring out which numbers are most likely to be drawn and by knowing how to play the possibilities, but I find it exceedingly unlikely that jackpot games could be cracked in such a way. Because the low-level payouts are low compared to the odds, since the payouts are biased toward the jackpot, where the odds and pay level out, and because jackpots are extremely hard to win,...

I like quick picks, I win often on them, from $50 to $400. Sometimes it hits the day I buy it, sometimes 3 days later.

Yet, sometimes, the number takes forever to hit.

And, I think, since Missouri numbers are computer generated, why not let the computer pick the numbers? Often, the quick pick gives me 2 of the winning 3, I just have to figure out the 3rd number. Or, it will give me, 134 and 245 drops, one up theory.

Good Luck.

Using quick picks is good if you want an easy way to get lottery tickets. It's bad if, for whatever reason, you want to pick your own numbers.

The good and bad, as I see them, are conditional. The method itself is neither good nor bad, which it is depends on the player. If the player wants to make no effort selecting numbers, then quick picks are good. If the player wants to pick his own numbers, then he shouldn't get quick picks. Either set of numbers, quick pick or player selected, is equal... [ More ]

visiondude — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 21:01:01 GMT

simple logic

since it's all random, if it doesn't matter what you do, then each methodology has the same chance as any other pre draw.

i like 1QP because i don't waste money or time chasing something that's random and i have no ability to make it happen

pick your methodology, throw something at it with a small amount of money, and walk away from it free of desperation.

when you overthink it, desperation creeps in and that's where the vacuum cleaner of time and money comes to clean h... [ More ]

Good? It's the easy way....walk right up and get your ticket. And from what you read most people win using quick picks because more people are playing them.

Bad? You're letting a machine decide for you. I like to make my own decisions. Phooey to Quick Picks. Won more using my own numbers.
