  What is your most common method of mumber selction? This goes for all games, Pick 3 to 5 + 1's and in betwen.

  Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners. 

  

  There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

  I track the positions of the numbers in the 3 digit, I start over every 30 drawings or so, if a sum like 13 hasn't been out for more than say 20 draws I'll play by sum. pb I just guess and hope for the best.

  Sometimes I use LP's RNG. I also have pennies that are numbered and I just draw them out of a cup at random.

  I used to play numbers based on positional frequency, but after 4 or 5 years of that I'm just going with random picks.

  Most often, I tend to just look at the past 5 to 10 drawings and see what is hot or cold and choose my numbers that way. Sometimes, I play sets of numbers in get in dreams or just get quick picks if I don't feel like choosing numbers.

  I use a combination profile to pick numbers randomly from the whole number pool.  I do a workout to come up with the profile.  For example for the next PowerBall drawing I will develop a profile that cover 95% of the combinations drawn in the last 150 drawings since its last matrix change.  I will also check those selections with all the past drawings associated with the game since no combination of five has ever repeated.  Depending on the numbers of lines I'm playing or the number of bonus numbers I need I will pick them using their repeat frequencies or their frequencies in general and combine them with the combination of five which has the least numbers that have been with that bonus number in previous drawings.

  I use a very complicated system that involves using sums, even/odd and high/low distribution, consecutive numbers, decades, positional, paired with, spreads, frequency, and repeat numbers from the last four drawings. Then I place the numbers into a sophicated compound wheel, double and triple check for errors, and reach into my desk drawer for the play slips I forgot to get.

  When I go to the store for more play slips, I only have about 10 minutes to get my tickets so I usually ask for 10 QPs with powerplay.

  Great post, hilarious!

  Sometimes when I start picking numbers too late to finish in time to play, I've been tempted to buy some QPs but I usually skip playing.  Once in a while Rolling Cash5 has a nice size jackpot but because it's a daily game, I have to decide if I want to play fairly early because it has had nearly 1950 drawings and that's a lot of drawings to check before playing so I usually don't get around to playing it.

  I've alway kept a supply of play slips for the games I play even when I was traveling to Indiana to play PowerBall.  Buying QPs just takes the fun out of playing for me.
