POLL - On The Whole Do The Lotteries Provide Truly Random Numbers?Reply
The interesting thing is that's not true in Canada. With the Canadian Lotto Max, even if you select your own numbers on a playslip, you get one line with your selection and two quick pick selections, you have no choice, you always get the quick picks. They do the multiple lines to give the desired prize structure. People complained about the prize structure produced by American style pick 5 + bonus ball draws because it rendered the subsidiary prizes too small and too difficult to win. They have

$20 for PowerBall - PowerPlay or NOT??Reply
I was just wondering if the majority of people that win do it via quick pick or pick their own numbers. I've done both without much luck. How about everyone else? Sometimes I pick the powerball and let the machine quick pick the rest. According to the powerball's website, 14 as the powerball has come out more than any other number....but it's been a very long time since it's come out. Lately I've noticed 24 or 26 come out a lot. Makes me want to play those 2 as the powerball all the time.

The Most important Lottery StatisticsReply
Benmas: I agree with you 100% on your first post. Lottery drawings are random and the only hope we have of making smart picks is to try to find some kind of pattern we can exploit. For a long time I only bought quick picks. I started getting tired of quick picks that seemed very unlikely to hit. For example for a pick 5 something like: 5-6-7-8-30. I started trying writing all kinds of spreadsheets that would analyze hot/cold, even/odd, hit/skip....etc. It would all look good on paper, but never

N.D. Lottery wrestles with credit card buying optionsReply
When the matrix changes, it's always an expansion, right? So any numbers chosen within the previous matrix would still be good. On their application, you have a choice to pick your own numbers, or do a quick pick. If you pick your own numbers, you most likely stay with them no matter if there's a matrix change (I have stayed with mine thru all the matrix changes in the last 13 years). It says right on the application that a quick pick generates ONE set of numbers for the length of the sub

Going to give Pick 5 a try. Do you play midday, evening, or both?
Well I played Pick 5 for the first time on Saturday just to give it a try. I told the clerk I wanted a $5 quick pick. When he handed me the ticket it had 10 sets on it. I was confused as to why at first, despite the ticket having $5.00 on it, because I thought it was it was $1 per set. I walked over to where the playslips were, and there it was on the back. 2 sets for $1. The jackpot is $50,000 pari-mutuel. I am so happy right now I can't even express it. I didn't win anything on the quick picks

Jackpot Game SurveyReply
1) On an average, how much do you spend weekly on Jackpot Games?Right now roughly $4 a week($2 for each MM drawing). When I travel home every month to see my family I throw a couple $ down for PB there too.2) Do you still play when the Jackpot is set at minimum of $10Mil?Oh yeah. But if the state lotto is bigger I'll play that until MM catches up and surpasses the state's jackpot.3) Quick-Pick or Natural Pick?Quick pick. I used to do a couple of my own picks(birth dates and stuff), but eh...

Any software that wins?Reply
Well George, I appreciate your insight into this subject. Sorry if I offended anyone out there in lotto land, just tired of trying systems that don't work or you have to buy a pile of tickets to even have a 3 hit. I am talking primarily about the 5, 6 and Megamillions game though. You obviously have a system for the 3 game in Michigan. Does it work for Georgia too? In your post, it said 5, 7, and up to 12 days after the prediction it hit...hmmm, does that mean you play the numbers you predict

Illinois Mega Millions winners used a quick pick
Oh my gosh, the Illinois Lottery made it very difficult to get this information. The Mega Millions jackpot in question was won on July 29, 2022, and was claimed in September. (The news story is here: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/342559 ) If you look at the comments for that story, you'll see that members were wondering if it was a quick pick ticket, or if the winners chose their own numbers. So I said I would reach out to the lottery to find out (which also can be found in the commen
