What is the difference between Quick Picks and Smart Picks?

A quick pick is built for convenience. The lottery terminal uses a random number generator to print an entry quickly, but it is not trying to improve your odds or increase you chance of winning.

Lottery Whiz Smart Picks are built with a different goal. We use advanced mathematics, probability theory, almost 40 years of lottery data, and our proprietary AI to craft Smart Picks for members. The priority is firm: help players submit stronger entries and increase their odds of winning.
