Would make for an interesting test. BobPWell, that's the program I started 5 drawings ago. Come back in about 11 months, and I'll know. Check my blog for the progress.

States Using RNGs.Reply
Jim695If you believe the total payout for Pick 3 or Pick 4 is too low then a line of inquiry would be to look at the breakdown for payouts especially the 4-Way and 6-Way. If these are higher than other States then that would suggest the Quick Picks being played have a higher percentage of 4-Way and 6-Way numbers. Dollie has just confirmed in a Pick 4 thread I started that they are pretty scarce.The Histories look OK which means a satisfactory algorithm is being used. Who knows what is being used

mega millions easy pick VS your own pickReply
From what I have gathered, most people let the computer pick their numbers. Plus, from the winner stories I have read, most of the winners won this way, just like most of the winners won purchasing five or less tickets. I feel quick picks work best for me because I have tried to pick numbers on my own, and have had nothing but bad luck (sometimes I will get 2 out of 6..lol)You mentioned MEGA MILLIONS....I just got several quick pick tickets for several draws (multi draws) and I have my fingers c

Best way to predict numbersReply

Since any lotto draw is based on pure random draws, it would seem that a quick pick would be just as accurate. Has this b

Mega Millions Drawing 9/5/03Reply
What ever makes one happy, weather it be picking your own numbers by your own strategies or having a computer chose your numbers for you, your always in the game if you play. Any kind of strategies or Quick Pick numbers are the same, however, for me, its a lot more fun to sit down and think of what I chose to play and to wheel my numbers I pick from my strategies. I can lose and win both ways, with my strategies or Quick Picks, its just about luck. I will say this though, at least every other d

Visiondude is right on the money !!Reply
After that January 15th drawing, I used about $56 of the $100 for the very next drawing, and the rest for the money for drawing afterwards. I played mostly the same numbers on both drawings (I filled out a lot of those play slips where you fill in your numbers). I played the same numbers that I originally had as quick picks when I first played them. But I stuck with those same numbers anyway. Both times, I only ended up with around $17 and $20. I guess that it wasn't my turn. I have been playing
