  Personally I think picking my own numbers is better, although I know theres many people who won jackpots with QP's. Maybe it's diferent in each state, cos I'm in NY & I got some Lottery coupons by mail & I noticed the coupons give you a free $1 QP play, after you spend $1... but note they do not give you the option of picking your own numbers... only QP... hmmm

  I rarely play QP. I only won on QP once. That was Lotto matching 3 numbers giving me $1.

  I use my own numbers also When I would play 2by2 I usually won free tickets and they were QPs and sometimes I would win some more free (QPs) tickets

  I have been using Steve Players 3-Digit Hit Wheel and Pyramid and Mike Knueppel's elimination process which I won $40 with.

  i will do one of two things:
  
  
  
  1. i will pick one set of numbers, and the rest of my sets will be quick picks.
  
  
  
  2. in the dvent that the jackpot is so high that i get more than 5 tickets, or i get less than 5 tickets, i will split it in half, getting half quick picks, and the other half hand-picked sets of numbers.
  
  
  
  no wheeling, no crunching, no nothing.

  I've redone my website.  Go to www.dr-ew.com.  I kept a lot of the old stuff, and I've added some new stuff.  Look for more new stuff in the coming weeks.

  I use QP's from my own computer.  I use a RNG on my computer that picks numbers with in parameters that I set, that way I get the best of both world (a custom QP).  Some times, hundreds of combinations are rejected before the ones that I like are found and I get a chance to see and compare them to past hits and each other before I play them.  Win or lose, my computer always pick the numbers I want, I just have to figure how what the next winner will look like and it will pick it too.

  I play 2 lines of my own numbers every MegaMillion game and supplement that with Quick Picks as the urge hits me.  I'm afraid to pass on my LUCKY numbers although they have never won any more than $1 -$3. But, they only have to hit one time to put me on easy street.

  I play to dream and dream of winning a major jackpot!

  I usely get 2 qp, most of the time for michigan it's usly close for me anyways,and if the numbers good i'll play it back. For an example Saturday i got 2 qp 384 and 393 so i had selected 394 anyway. so i hit the 394.

  Food for thought i guess.
