Send me a PM with your numbers & I will let you know how they fair in the past drawings. I am currently doing a workup on the CA Super Lotto from Jan 2009 thru Nov 2013. I will let you know how I am doing. I for one will never play QP's as you can do alot better if you know what combinations come in the most often via HISTORY..... I cannot tell when a set or combination will hit again, but I can tell you the best combinations that have come in the past. History does repeat.

dont bother, I dont think he is a serious combination finder.

He mostly wants to know how high that bridge should be.

Now that most of the Michigan games are RNG there is no point in playing the same numbers over and over. Why would they let you win a jackpot when they know they will be getting a dollar from you every draw?

I have numbers I have been playing on the Fantasy Five since it started and the odds are that they should win $100 by the end of the year.
They have not won over $10 yet. I will let you know if they do hit for $100. In fact anybody who has been playing the same numbers on
Fantasy Five should hit for $100 by the end of 2013 or they are not your lucky numbers!

I have also been playing the same 6/xx numbers since 1986 and they have NOT come up for anything more than $5 yet!

I posted this in another discussion but I think it fits in here too.

I've been playing Louisiana Lotto with both a set of numbers I play each drawing and a quick pick. Louisiana Lotto is 6/40 matrix and must match at least 3 to win a lower tier prize. A couple of months ago I got curious to find out if picking my own numbers and playing the same numbers each time would increase my chances of winning something, so I started tracking the results of both tickets in terms of how many numbers matched.

Over the last 21 drawings, the self pick matched an average of .90 numbers/per draw while the quick picks matched .95 numbers/draw. The median of numbers matched was 1 for both quick picks and self picked tickets. The self pick matched 0 numbers the most, while the quick picks matched 1 number most often. Neither have matched 3 as of yet.

In my particular case, it doesn't seem to make much difference whether I pick a set and play it over every drawing or just do a different quick pick every time.

Here are the actual results if anyone is interested.

Date Self Picked Quick Pick
Matched Won Matched Won
9/28/2013 0 $0.00 0 $0.00
10/2/2013 1 $0.00 0 $0.00
10/5/2013 1 $0.00 0 $0.00
10/9/2013 1 $0.00 2 $0.00
10/12/2013 0 $0.00 0 $0.00
10/16/2013 2 $0.00 1 $0.00
10/19/2013 1 $0.00 1 $0.00
10/23/2013 0 $0.00 2 $0.00
10/26/2013 2 $0.00 1 $0.00
10/30/2013 1 $0.00 1 $0.00
11/2/2013 0 $0.00 2 $0.00
11/6/2013 2 $0.00 0 $0.00
11/9/2013 0 $0.00 0 $0.00
11/13/2013 0 $0.00 2 $0.00
11/16/2013 1 $0.00 1 $0.00
11/20/2013 1 $0.00 1 $0.00
11/23/2013 0 $0.00 2 $0.00
11/27/2013 2 $0.00 2 $0.00
11/30/2013 2 $0.00 1 $0.00
12/4/2013 0 $0.00 1 $0.00
12/7/2013 2 $0.00 0 $0.00

Not sure what to think of this. Any opinion?

or I get QPs

Hey Nightjar- whether l am a serious combination finder or not, you seem to forget that you responding to an answer posted over a month ago.Do you even know what day it is?... Get back to reality.

By the way a nightjar is a nocturnal goatsucker with a wide mouth ( Lottoboner) used for scooping up insects in mid-flight. That's the picture l get of people who make idiotic statements from time to time. You fit the bill.

Now run along and play.

l change my numbers for every draw- its a personal thing although l do know of those who have played the same numbers for what seems like generations, l do not see the value in that- but perhaps that is just me. How about you?

Last year we had an individual from Southern California who had a press conference in which he "spilled the beans" on his winning formula. Anniversary,kids birthdays,baptism,football jersey number in HS, etc etc.

l say if you going to win, you going to win- no amount of tea leave readings coffee grounds, or wine sediments gives you the upper hand- would you agree?

I have a set of numbers that I have played for many years I can't stop playing them now or I know they will come up. I will occassionally add to the pot a ticket of random numbers or a quick pick.

I have one set of numbers that I play every time I get a ticket. Any others I play I switch up whether it's me picking the numbers or getting a QP.

When you're winning you're being blessed by Him!
