An estimated $1 billion Powerball jackpot is up for grabs in Monday night’s drawing. What are the odds of Quick Pick vs. choosing your own numbers?
Many people play the lotto with “lucky numbers” – combinations of birthdays, dates, phone numbers, digits that come to them in dreams, and more.
While some select their own lotto numbers, others play Quick Picks, which are numbers that are randomly generated by machines.Chances of winning the lotto between playing quick picks or selecting your own numbers are both equal. “Around 70 to 80 percent of Powerball players use Quick Pick tickets, and the same percentage of winning entries are Quick Picks,”
. “This shows that regardless of whether players choose to select their own numbers or not, the odds of winning remain the same.”Playing Quick Pick is the fastest way to play, but leaves the possibility open for repeat numbers and combinations. Selecting your own numbers gives you complete control over your numbers, but can take longer to play in stores, especially when the jackpot reaches enticing numbers for the non-regulars to want to participate.
