What's The Best Way to Pick Your Lottery Numbers

Do you ever wonder which is the best way to pick your numbers? Should you pick the numbers yourself or go for a quick pick and let the computer select the numbers?

Eric Hagler the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery executive director said in a press release;

“A player’s selection method does not affect the probability of matching the winning numbers drawn. There are more winners from Quick Picks because most purchases are by Quick Pick.”

So basically your odds are the same. Overall the odds of winning the big jackpot is 1 in 303 million but there are a lot of smaller wins and your chances are good at 1 in 24.

So what would you do with the money if you won the whole shebang? The first things to do according to CNBC are:

Take a Selfie with the Ticket
