    As it says.

    I'm doing a 6 euro lotto-plus quickpick in 40 minutes. That's 3 lines of 6 numbers. That 18 individual numbers.

    So then, could each person please make one post, with one single number, and a reason why.

    First number: 39.

    Why: It's my lucky number

    I work in a shop that sells lotto, and you'd be surprised how many people claim prizes with more than three numbers ranging from 1 - 6.

    Depends on if you can find me :P

    Lotto statistics show about 20% chance a Ball will show up on a particular night. Which is about right really. I was just looking for a way to get a truly random and unbiased spread, is all.

    Maybe getting manatee's to pick them out of a tank.... Thanks anyway folks.

    17, 7, 11, 37, 42, 39.
    4, 13, 22, 27, 30, 37.
    Quickpik.

    That'll do it.

    Pick your six favourite lucky numbers, now discard them, they're never going to come up.
    Ok, now pick your six next favourite lucky numbers, now discard them, they're never going to come up either.
    Right, now pick your six next favourite lucky numbers, discard them as well, they're never going to come up either.

    Now you see how this is going, keep picking and discarding until you are left with six numbers that you wouldn't pick in a fit.
    They are the winners, I expect a cut.

    You are certainly onto something there, wish i had that advice 21/22 years ago, would have saved a fortune.:( I might never have won yet, but i wouldn't have wasted all the money on loosing tickets.
