So myself and other players that I chatted with recently, noticed something this past year. Quick Picks do not seem to hit often or not at all in recent months, like someone turned off a switch. I used to buy 2-4 .50 QP's or $1 - 50/50's for P3 or P4 a draw and would hit 2-4 times a month on them (mainly P3's), at least boxed and occasionally straight for a nice 50/50 win. I can honestly say that I have a pile of QP's for the past 2 months (maybe 100 or so) and not won on a single one of them! Instead, in a few cases, they come out that exact way 2-3 days later.

Seems funny that they used to win for that draw at least occasionally, but since Mafia Mark took the helm, they don't win and this is just another way to make sure we don't win and he makes more $$ off of NC players.

What are your thoughts NC players?

I typically don't buy them for that reason, but I do find them useful, so I occasionally go to a machine, scan my license, no money, but get qps and cancel while writing them down in my notebook. I find a lot of them are repeats, and combos that are expected. For example, I got the 156 as 615 2 days ago.

In all the years I've played the lottery. I've never won on a quick pick at the given draw that it was purchased.

The only time I've won on a QP was when I picked a pair and let the computer pick the remaining digit ( partial QP)

upon occasion I will buy a QP I actually won on Saturday night pick 3 on a qp. I was really surprised. It is really a rare thing to happen. Since fireball It is even less! I couldn't take your poll above it didn't say within the last 2-3 days. I read your post all the time. Thank you they are always insight.

I buy them often but have won a few times but just a box hit. Thanks for you input.

I was going to check off the box for 1 to 2 YEARS but it wasn't listed.

Taking it one day at a time, because there's no way to know what might have been.

Thanks all for the votes and comments folks, it is appreciated! Glad to know I am not the only one.

Yes RedDog, realized after I posted it (and cannot edit) that I needed to add more than 6 mos. It has been at least that since I won on a QP of any kind.

also,there are so many ways to get quick picks.are you getting home ones on your computer,on lotter post,or at a store where you buy your tickets?i use the ones on lottery post here and it asks for which state.i've tried lottery usa on here as it has numbers due and numbers not due but still have trouble winning.in my state you need to purchase tickets 15 minutes before drawing,and with computers they can illiminate their computer from picking my numbers.
