It would certainly be possible. The lottery companies could allocate combinations that had not already been picked to people buying a quick pick.

After all, it would still be a fair draw as all combinations have the same chance of being drawn.

The main reason they wouldn’t though is rollovers!

Lottery companies love rollovers. Big jackpots create great publicity and sell a lot more tickets.

It’s the only reason there are lottery games with insane odds. Look at the chances of winning Mega Millions! Hugely popular but not the game those players should be spending their money on.

I agree. But I often wonder as I buy my tickets a few days before, if this powerful computer could scan the numbers being picked by the public, and be able to avoid most numbers. I mean in more than 30 years of trying and still no decent winnings.

I agree. The quick pix is able to pick a more pseudorandom set of numbers than mere humans. Therefore as you say one is more likely to share any winnings if you choose your own numbers. Humans have great difficulty in choosing or recognizing such numbers. Great site – Joe
