Random Pickings. Winning Lottery Numbers, How?

Would you commit to playing the same complete set of lottery numbers for the lifetime of your lottery experience? I have spoken/read a few blogs from lottery experts, and there seems to be a consensus to not choose the QuickPick (QP) option however, nothing (that I came across) about committing to the same numbers every play, is mentioned. Now, whether or not these lottery experts are self-appointed or industry-acknowledged, I do know that seven time lottery winner Richard Lustig suggests the same strategy, about not choosing QP for a better chance at winning the lottery. Could you imagine, if you play the same lottery numbers consistently for a fair amount of time, suddenly forget or decide to not play a drawing, and those numbers get recognized as the lottery jackpot numbers for Powerball or Megamillions? How crazy, and incredibly stressful would that be? Ha. Stressful to say the least, am I right? I wonder how many people out there would fit under this umbrella of their normally played lottery numbers coincidently being chosen for a jackpot that they did not play. What would you do? Even the process leading up to the number announcements, as the first couple numbers are called you are thinking to yourself, “No. Way.” Then the third to fifth number, “This is not happening.” Then as the Powerball or Megaball accurately aligns with your go-to number, would you feel an excitement brought down quickly with the realization that you didn’t play this drawing? Let’s be honest, how many of you would try to submit an old ticket with your previously played tickets, haha! I’m sure at this point, a sense of logical thinking is out, at least for a moment. So what is the lesson? Increase your chances and save your sanity by always playing your numbers and a set of randomly chosen numbers as well J Besides, what is another $2 - $4 for a chance at a large payout ;)
