I set two windows on my second monitor and let them run most of the day.
On one, I picked my own numbers and played them for every single ticket. On the other, I did the default quick pick, different every ticket.
Seems like my odds should be the same whether I use the same numbers or different ones every time, but I was never really good at statistics.
After over 16 millennia, the constant numbers yielded more winnings.
Self-picked, constant
Quick pick each ticket

I don't think 1% as many games as there are odds of winning the jackpot is an adequate sample size for that kind of test.

I left mine running overnight, but in year 760 I won my first 10k. I think I had won 100 9 times. There is an office mutiny to exclude me from the wednesday ticket now.
