  Whats your theory on how these numbers get chosen:

  Are individually printed quick picks generated more from the network?

  Are quick picks that are generated together affected by the other numbers generated on the same print?

  Does this question make sense?

  I suppose im asking if you have $7 to spend on quick picks, what effect on the numbers will having the clerk print them Separately vs. all on 1 ticket have on the numbers generated?

  ...............

  Maybe if I put it this way...

  If the Albany 7 had their tickets printed individually, do you still think the system would have generated the winning ticket in their batch of numbers?

  I don't think it matters one bit.

  I've played a lot of quick picks and quick picks mixed with self-picks on the same playslip and the only thing I've noticed is that very often the last number matches on both.

  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.

  Get your quick picks from the Lottery Post RNG and you can get them 1 at a time or up to 50 at a time, your choice.

  If you see a line you don't like, you don't have to take it.

  It's hard enough trying to figure the numbers out...lol

  It'd be too much for me to start decoding how the terminal picks numbers based on how the betslips are presented....lol

  

  I've got enough on my plate already....

  I like to generate my own quick picks which makes them more like self picks.

  I do like playing the part of being in a group, so I will pretend im in a group and buy a multidraw ticket, just incase....it would be nice if my imaginary group won.

  and ...

  An odd thing happened at the terminal yesterday:

  I self picked some of the families favorite random numbers on one line for powerballs draw on Wednesday and I noticed later that it was randomly generated on my megamillions as a quick pick, only difference in the picks was the bonus ball...how odd is that?

  I was told by clerk the machine generates a group of RNG lines and distributes them in order until the last line is used and a new group is generated. If this is true, you would get the same next 10 QPs by either buying 10 individual tickets or all 10 on the same ticket.
