This is really a good thread. I want to reply one more time but this time about quick picks.
I know some guys that talk about the law of big numbers and swear that if you extract large amounts of numers from a personal RNG and do this several times you stand a better chance of winning than you do from buying a quick pick from your friendly lotto dealer.
The odds are approximately 22.5 million to one to win the Florida Lottery on a single pick 6.
You are correct that better than 50% of the time a quick pick wins. This has been the case for several years now. It also holds true for MegaMoney only the percentage is a little higher. So I guess we can say that 1 out of 2 times we play, a quick pick would have been as good as the numbers we picked.
I happen to have a very good RNG and I sometimes use it for fun. The guys tell me I should use it all the time if I play more than one ticket. They said I should use the numbers I get from the RNG for at least one pick.
For what it is worth here is the strategy:
1. Set up the RNG to generate at least 10,000 combinations of 6 numbers each.
2. Repeat the process but this time with 100,000 combinations.
3. Again with 500,000 combinations.
4. Several more times with varying sizes of combinations that suite you. Eventually you will arrive at your own strategy and combination amounts.
5. Write down the last combination that is generated by each of these operations.
6. Play how many you want. This process gets you into the midst of the law of big numbers.
This action, so I am told will provide a much better mix than does the friendly lottery dealer's RNG originating from Tallahassee and is a truer random pick which tends to lower the odds.
Hey, remember I said for what it is worth. I have a DOSS RNG virtually sitting on the shell and is capable of generating over 1 million 6 number combinations in less than 90 seconds. So this process may be easier for me than other folks.
I wish all your picks are winners and all your winners are monsters
