What I did was accessed the Lottery Post quick pick on my phone and filled it in on a play slip along with a random pick from the terminal. I played them side by side with every drawing. What I was trying to determine if another method of picking numbers was better than a terminal quick pick.

Playing them side by side allowed me to compare how each one matched against a drawing. Maybe running multiple picks per drawing side by side might be interesting, but that costs $$$.

Right now I'm... [ More ]

It sounds like you only used one set of numbers from each RNG which is a really small sample size. You might try generating 10 sets of numbers with each RNG and then checking each set against 20 drawings.

Keep trying and see what happens. I am to tracking Powerball numbers with terminal quick picks along side LP quick picks.

I also plan to do this same study later with MegaMillions. The results should be interesting.

On another note, there is another random number general site that uses atmospheric noise to pick numbers. They claim to be the most random in the world. They also are set up so numbers can be picked for various lottery drawings including powerball.

The site is http://www.... [ More ]

No hits for cash 5 which does correspond to your graph after I got 2 hits in the prior drawing.

2 hits for my pb ticket.

You would still need to know how to spot which QP # iz the most statistically viable amongst the ticketz...that'z wheaa.... You guessed it...

Probability Math comez inta play..!!

I surprized alotta local playaz by tellin'em which numberz on their QPz would show up.. and whutta know..

Interesting idea. I'm going to try that with Lotto and see what happens.

I understand. Since 2 numbers seemed to be the median hit from lp qps, I wanted to try using 3 lp qps and take 2 numbers from each qp. Tried it with VA cash 5 last night...3 qps and 2, 2 and 1 number taken from each qp in order for 1 play. I got 2 numbers and won my $1 back.

What I have been trying to do is determine if another method of picking numbers will get better results than the lottery terminal quick pick most players use. I did a similar study previously on Lotto, Powerball, and MegaMillions in which I picked a static set of numbers and played the same numbers draw after draw and along side a different quick pick each drawing. On all three games, I actually got better results from the random quick picks than I did from playing the same numbers every draw.

I wuzzn't implyin Todd'z LP method wuz wrong or unfruitful...I don't think LOz were previously aware of how much better it iz than their Louzy Terminal spitoutz,.. but NAAAH they are..That'z whut I meant by on blast ..

Hopefully LOz will come up to snuff to match LP'z stats..

Ok. I did three lp qps and used the first 2 numbers in pick 1, second 2 in qp2, etc to make up one ticket. The pb bonus number was 1.

Someone did not understand the analysis to think it was putting Todd on blast. Quite the opposite actually.

Nice analysis.

The main thing that makes Lottery Post's Quick Picks Generator better than a lottery terminal is that Lottery Post uses a strong cryptographic random number generator, which is more truly random than the psuedo-random number generator in a lottery terminal.

So the numbers coming out of a lottery terminal will tend to follow patterns more and will tend to generate some numbers more than others ( clumps of similar numbers), whereas Lottery Post will tend to generate better r... [ More ]

Thanks!

I'm thinking of doing a study on LP quick picks for Powerball. One thing that would be interesting to see is if one method works for both sets of numbers.

Would using LP or terminal get better results on the pick 5 and Powerball, or will LP do better on the 5 and terminal on the Powerball? It will interesting to see.

I thought that info was very helpful and an interesting analysis. I may try a combination of lp picks when I buy a pb ticket.

Quickpicks: Lottery terminal vs Lottery Post

PrisonerSix — Fri, 21 Oct 2022 01:41:10 GMT

I just finished a test of quick picks from the lottery terminal and Lottery Post. What I did was play a terminal quick pick and a Lottery Post quick pick side by side for 20 drawings on Louisiana Lotto(6/42 minimum 3 to win) and got some interesting results.

The average number of matches per drawing on the terminal quick pick was 0.5 while on the Lottery Post quick pick it was 1.2. In other words, Lottery Post quick picks did better on matching numbers than terminal quick picks.
