I had a QP with

Something like 26 27 28 29 4 numbers in a row but I had some other lines so it didn't bother me haha.

Oh and that ticket won me 10 GBP with that line so it was worth it.

£2.50 and a dream!

Nope- those numbers you " don't like" could be the numbers that bring it home.

A lot pf QP players are never satisfied with their numbers because they don't know what they want.

I almost always buy another when the Power/Mega ball matches one of the five, but most of my wins have been 0+1 or 1+1 in that very case. It's just a silly feeling, a superstition. I know intellectually that it has as good of a chance as any other, but...

Maybe knowing two chances are better than one, you just need a reason to buy more than one.

When you do win something, is it usually the first or second one that wins?

I've won a few times on my "bad" ticket, usually $12-14 dollars. I also buy another if the clerk doesn't do the multiplier or the JP/cash option I asked for, but that's been a while b/c I now carry play slips in my vehicle in a Texas Lotto "wallet" they hand out.

I really don't like buying more tickets/lines than I intended to buy. I've got two lines for tonight's PB drawing as well as the Texas Lottery, though. Dunno why, just cashed in a couple of small winners and had enough money for it and a few bucks left over.

I have done that several times. But once I bought a ticket and when I looked at the numbers I just yelled, "It gave me these stupid numbers!" lol. But I won a few dollars off of it lol.

Learned to not allow one ticket with bad vibes, to create a bad mood. So yup, I pick my own numbers and live with the winning consequences :)

Well, 15 was one of the winning numbers for the 10/9 draw, so your ticket was partway there.
