  Sounds like you're what they call "a snazzy dresser" in Kentucky.

  RE: quick picks. Granted this is a Pick 5 game, but it is drawn everyday, provides for good statistics:

  Results as of June 28, 2008, June 29 last year and this June 20 year:

  2008:

  To date:

  68 Jackpots

  56 QP  82.35%
  

  35 PS  51.47%
  

  2009:

  To date:
  
  76 Jackpots
  
  65 QP  85.52%
  
  39 PS   51.31%
  
  Total jackpot money paid out to date: $17,295,000

  2010:

  To date:

  77 Jackpots

  37 PP  48%
  

  61 QP  79.22%

  For 2008 and 2009 PS meant Player's Selections, I changed it to PP, Player's Pick for 2010.  The stats for QP and PS or PP include shared jackpots, so added together they will be more than the number of jackpots hit.

  See any consistenct? See any patterns? The game gets hit about every third day or less, the most common jackpot is $175,000 won by a QP.

   

  
  

  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 believe the winners are chosen by chance.
