Why Quick Picks win...Hint: It's *NOT* what you think, folks!
Many here have observed the oft repeated assumption that QPs win because the majority of PURCHASES are QPS, and as such most of the eventual winners are QP users. I have a different take. Nobody wants to admit ( I think that drives the prejudice against QPs) that having control over your selection matters in reducing the odds of winning not a whit.

I worked in the El Cortez, Fremont, Union Plaza, California, Golden Nugget, and Palace Station. (Never made it to the Strip, some kind of record!)

Focusing On Winning The Lottery Is A Fruitless EventReply
Focusing on winning the lottery is kind of like focusing on not having . Using that logic, focusing on having a good meal at a restaurant is kind of like focusing on not getting food poisoning . I say this because of some discussions I've had with those who have held this desire. They have shared what they would do with the winnings if they won.
