Well, the quick pick uses the same method of determining your numbers as it does the winning numbers. In theory, it shouldn't really matter, but who knows.

I usually do 1 quick pick and 1 homemade pick. I seem to end up evening out doing that.

Considering that the quick pick and the winning number both come from the pseudo randomness of the computer's random numbers, I choose to pick my own. What is the likelyhood of one pseudo random number stream working for me twice (picking the same set of 5 numbers) in one week?

I am credits ahead picking my own.

I have always been lazy and let the computer do it. I am about 50 credits ahead so far. I also tend to break up my buys over a couple-three groups.
