just looking for your thoughts on playing regular numbers with quick pick

I play QP sometimes - depending on the jackpot. Have 5 sets of #'s we play reguarly - bigger jackpot, add a couple QP's. Usually play QP's from off of here - that way you can pick which ones you like - however look at last weeks winning #'s - and they were off a QP's so you never know

11-16-27-33-45-52

4-10-16-33-48-51

3-8-17-29-30-51

1-4-5-27-31-48

6-13-20-23-42-51

I voted "sometimes."

Check out LOTTOMIKE's "quick pick or your own numbers" poll - you'll find lots of useful information posted in that thread.

I no longer let 'their' terminal give me a quick pick ever since they gave me 32-33-34-35-36 in a 5/39 game. I have a better chance at falling into a sink hole and ending up in China then I do of hitting that combo.

But you never know, I could be speaking Chinese tomorrow.

Hi Rick,

I've never had a terminal-generated QP quite as bad as yours, but I've had more than my share of QP's with four consecutive numbers (like 29-30-31-32) in Pick 5 games.

That being said - check out these drawing results from the Georgia Fantasy 5:

A ticket with four consecutive numbers rarely wins, but it does happen. Of course you're right and you still have a better chance at falling into a sink hole and ending up in China. It's interesting though, that 3 people won on that combo for that drawing.

MrBobb,

Thanks for that link, it gave me a laugh. And it IS surprising that 3 people played that combo and I'll bet all three of them picked their own numbers. Maybe kids' ages?

So I guess it goes to show that it can happen but when it does you'll be sharing the jackpot...lol

It sure seems like the winner is a QP more often than not, especially in Illinois Little Lotto! (and it seems an inordinate amount of those winning OP's come from a White Hen Pantry!) Wish we had one down here.

I usually pick my own numbers, but every now and then I buy a quick pick.

Quickpicks are a QuickRIP!

Never rely on them exclusively or mostly, just occasionally, IF you have to or insist.

I always quick-pick. That's where I get my winners.

Sometimes-my husband hits at least twice a week on p3 quick picks
