18. In any given drawing, the odds are the same whether QP or You Pick, BUT
I believe that playing every drawing with the SAME SET of numbers gives you a slightly higher chance of winning than using a different set of numbers every time.

In other words, if you play a quick pick, or choose a new set of numbers and play every week, both sets are constantly changing, and there is a chance that they might NEVER match.

However, if YOUR set of numbers is constant, and the lotto numbers change every week, there is a statistical probability that the winning numbers will eventually match your set of numbers. Problem is time. It may take many thousands, or millions of draws for your combination to come up, but eventually it will. (Just don't be too sure of being alive when they do...)
