I’m 39 and have been playing the same numbers like clockwork since I was 18.. 21 years... and I’ll keep doing so until I hit !

💀picking your own numbers for years and then forgetting to play it on the winning day is the same as losing a grand prize ticket!!!

[maxsherritt]

Here's what I don't understand about playing the same numbers every time to increase your odds. First of all, Powerball and mega million are not cause-and-effect gambling systems. That means that each drawing and the numbers that get picked are independently random of any past and/or future drawing. So the idea of playing the same numbers over and over again is not gaining players anything. Your chances are exactly the same every time since each drawing is a fresh clean slate of numbers. I don't think playing the same numbers is more harmful thank random quick picks, but I don't believe it increases your odds. The only thing that will boost your odds is buying more tickets at one time.

Best advice ever :DO NOT BUY QUICK PICKS

[justinbishop]

Your odds are not "at their worst" by picking a randomly generated number. The odds of hitting YOUR number (whatever it may be, random or not) are always dependant on total number of tickets sold. Think about a dice roll. If I bet it will land 5, I have a 1/6 chance. The next roll, if I choose 5 again, it's still one in six. But what if I bet on 3 next time, still 1/6 chance!!! Your chance of winning the lottery is the number of tickets you have over the number of tickets out there. No matter what number you pick. The term "statistically due" does not apply here. The chance of your number is not in any way dependant on how many times your number has lost in the past. If you still don't understand, start flipping a coin and recording the results based on your predicted outcome. First try always betting heads. You will be at an approximate 50% win rate. Now try betting randomly, picking heads or tails Willy nilly, with no thought. After a few goes you will see it's still 50% win.

I know he has since passed away 😥
but I'd like to know how much he spent for each game before he won 🤔

He was entertaining even though I didn't always agree with him. RIP Richard.

[prayingmantisteamairsoft]

But the guy in Tennessee said he did four quick picks and he won. Explain that please.

I guess I have to buy the book to learn all the secrets.

I won $500 on a QP on the Fantasy 5 js

I rarely buy quick picks on Lotto, Mega, and the state Lotto. I pick my own numbers and so far not much luck. the most money I ever won or got back for that matter was $10.00. I thought about buying 5 quick picks and sticking with those same set of numbers until one of them hits the jackpot. I might play those numbers the rest of my life.

[shopwithebonylove]

Heard a man quote stats that say 80 % of all lottery jackpot winners chose a quick pic.

1:03 NOT TRUE....there is a way to increase of chances to win....THERE IS...

[BlizzardSeeker]

So he wrote a book on 5 tips that are understood in 1 minute.

[deerickjohnson]

I been playing the same numbers for 5 years.

[allyoupeasentsaremadcusyal]

he aint lying, i didnt win shit with quick picks, the ones that i did get the same numbers, well atleast one and the other one i won 4 bucks, were both filled in by me.

[TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

His book is a joke. His book claims you decrease your odds when you play the same number. That's totally false. The drawing is a fresh draw every time it's drawn.

[stilljustaguy]

Each drawing is independent of each other. Please understand statistically there is now way to increase your odds, other than purchasing more tickets.

[nathanmysza]
