When I worked for the lottery statistically about 70% of the winners were "quick picks"



What percentage of tickets sold were quick picks?

I cant recall, somewhere in the high 70 percentile range.

That was like 8 years ago though too.

Any number really has the same odds as any other number. Random or you pick, doesn't make a difference to me.


Not gonna be my ticket anyways.



Not exactly -- I mean if the randomizer picks

1 2 3 4 5 6 and 1 2 3 5 6 7

BUT a good set picks

1 2 3 4 5 6 and 7 8 9 10 11 12

The latter is better.

This is especially true for large blocks of tickets where you might get pure duplications as well as close to duplications.

It isnt that big a deal below say 100 tickets but especially with over 1000 tickets it is a big deal.
