The closest I ever came to a substantial prize was 4/5 on NY Take Five 5/39. I was one digit away from 5/5. I picked the numbers. My other 4/5 was a free play (automatic QP).

Hey gang...Hypersonig is right. Stats cahnge after each game. Therefore, next game, new numbers.There's this thing called Dumb Luck ... Anyone can win the Lottery on a given day. By QP's or Picking their own #'s. The thing is, you can improve your game by knowing what the #'s are going to do ahead of time. This isn't Dumb Luck Which means you just might get that Mother Load 6-years before your six numbers hit that you've been playin' for the last 10 years.Ken... [ More ]

Maybe another poll could be for whether someone uses quick-pick numbers and play them in consecutive drawings.

Powerball has 104 drawings a year, theoretically it would take over 1 million years to run through all the number set combinations. Your favorite birthday combination may never come up. Which means there is no difference between choosing different combo's and staying with the same number sets.

your right on that...I tracked the super lotto going back 10 years and on only 5 occasions,,,,, did 5 out of the 6 numbers that were drawn matched a previous drawing. none matched 6 out of 6I have 40 sets of numbers I track on my computer....i track how many times they match 1,2,3,4,5 numbers,,,then i rank them and play the top 10 to 15 sets.

In very few lotteries does a combination repeat, so when most numbers win, they have been a loser up to then and will be mostly a loser there after. A number that has been a loser during the whole life of the lottery, will be the next winner, so you really can't set a time limit on any number until it wins and then it might be one of those really rare repeaters.RJOh

Dowser:Shoulda put that $5 on Mega Millions. Even if you got a three-number game, you might have gotten back just $1.50.

Hi CashO....of course your two automatic random pics will change each purchase, but you can pick one line outta the three and play that over and over.Just checked mine for 6/13 and had every number at least once on a $5.00 ticket (15 lines). No more than two correct on anyone line though.

Dowser:*It's virtually impossible to play ALL the SAME numbers in two consecutive Super-6 draws.

One drawing, that's it. After that, the history changes and so does the next pick...I know that it's been debated to death that past history has nothing to do with future draws... but so what :-)I play one, sometimes 2 tickets per powerball draw and have better results using statistics based on past draws than anything else I have tried so far... getting closer but no big win yet. (it's alot cheaper than those filtered wheels I used to use

I usually pick fresh numbers for each game. I play 4 games twice a week. Usually Five bucks a game. (PowerBall, Mega Millions, MD Lotto, PA Super Six*) I combine my own picks and quick picks for each game. Sometimes I get lazy and play the same numbers again. Or sometimes I just have a good feeling about the numbers I already have. I always toss the old cards when I have filled out new ones.Often I play the same set of numbers in all four games.I hope you enjoy this poll and it has not already b... [ More ]
