  I went to a liqour store in a nearby town that has sold a few state 6/52 JP winners.

  I asked for a QP for PB, then to play the same numbers again because I was the 'runner' and playing for someone else, too.

  The clerk said, "These numbers?" and showed me the ticket but it didn't say QP. I told her to go ahead and she playeed it for two draws ( usually when that happens to me someone hits the first draw, so I'm saying it might not rollover).

  Then I asked for a $2 scratcher and she scans it, looks at the register, and says, "It looks like that'll be $53 million."

  So I'm like  , she's like  , and the store manager is like and told her she scanned it wrong.

   

  PS,

  There was a sign on the scratcher rack:

  E _ _ _ _ _ H _ _ _ _ _ was fired for stealing.

  So at least one manager looks for thins like that.

  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.
