I have exactly the opposite problem. The numbers I play are always excellent.

Unfortunately, the numbers that are drawn are almost always lousy.

I mentioned that in my thread about The best way of picking numbers. You can't set what numbers you're going to get when you go the lottery terminal quick pick route. I like to know what I'm going to play. After all, I am putting my hard earned money on these tickets. I wish I had the time to do research. I don't. I have a time sensitive job and I have to get my sleep so that I don't kill anyone. Plus, it was really frustrating me.

Instead of picking your own numbers, maybe you should play those 3 crappy quick picks for a consecutive drawing? Perhaps that crap will turn to gold

Your QP are crappy because the terminal RNG is crappy. You might try a different store. At some terminals I always get five cold numbers.

I stay away from them unless I am expecting five cold numbers. The best RNG terminals are in California, New York and Florida.

Thats why they always win. Have you considered moving?

Currently I have found one store that has a great RNG terminal and I went there today. The trend so far has been consistent and I got the numbers that I was

hoping f... [ More ]

Well, I didn't win crap on my 3 crappy quick picks. I'm going to pick my own numbers now and stick with them until I get a good prize.

Don't forget that your 'crappy numbers' quick pick could also be someone else's self pick.

Do you always buy from the same location? Time of day? Try switching things up from time to time if that's the case. Pick up a few QPs at peak lotto buying time and patrons behind and ahead of you are buying tickets as well. You might pull off a big win like Gloria.

You'd have to be the Amazing Kreskin to know before the drawing if the numbers are crappy or not.

The numbers are reported in numerical order, just like how any ticket is printed. However, the numbers are drawn in any order.

Right. Here it is called 'repeating' a ticket.

SergeM — Wed, 18 Nov 2015 11:48:27 GMT

I meant, if you play the numbers of the previous drawing, you only have one line to play.

You meant revalidate your previously played lines.

All of the lines on a $10 ticket can't repeat.

SergeM — Wed, 18 Nov 2015 11:38:26 GMT

If they all repeat, you win with one line.

Repeat the ticket for the next game and see what happens.

Do you like it or not?

I could write a webpage for filtered quick-picks.

This was an idea that I had longer ago.

Id like a no repeats option. if i ask for 4 QP's then it makes sure non of the numbers are the same. that would suit me

I don't always like the number my local machines pit at me either ..... but one never knows for certain

Your set of numbers might look crappy but remember that even those lines that look bad can end up being drawn.

If you don't like those quick picks you can get quick picks in some other way, for example the Lottery Post has a quick pick generator and there are others elsewhere.

I here ya. That's part of the reason why I started playing my own numbers in Mega and PB. I play QPs for state jackpot games. You could use the Vinh Nguyen strategy and pick numbers off the top of your head. Good luck

Three matrix changes ago, I stopped expecting to get a winning ticket and even more so now that 190,612,800 PB combinations won't match one number including the bonus number. There are 7,624,512 that won't match one of the five numbers making the even/odd and high/low distribution just part of what we should expect to get.

I bet there have been a QP winner or two in the past that like yourself took one look at the numbers on the ticket that the machine gave them and shook their heads prior to the spin as well, by the end of the evening, those crappy numbers turned to Gold. Here's to hoping your crap turns to Gold in the very near future morgothaod.

my crappy picks instead of a machines...that somehow is easier to take.

It always seems like there's something I don't like about QP numbers, often all high or all low. It seems like I win more often (the small prizes) with my own numbers too.

Usually qp's on jackpot games I get are crappy too, none have won big yet. I don't

play often but will get a few when the prize is high. I got $10 for the MM and won a

whole big dollar I believe.

The numbers were very similar..PA prints 10 plays per ticket and I had 3 of one MB

3 of another 2 of another and 2 different ones. The main play numbers were junky

but if I was playing every week I would choose my own. I doubt they'd do better but

they'd be my crappy picks instead of a... [ More ]

Why are my QPs so crappy?

morgothaod — Wed, 18 Nov 2015 02:30:55 GMT

I'm not sure what the deal is but whenever I get a QP, I often get 5 out of 6 odd or even numbers, all high numbers, all low numbers, or a lot of numbers that begin or end with the same digit like 02 03 31 39 60 03. It happens at different stores and from the cashier or ticket vending machine. Does this happen a lot to anyone else on here
