hello treejtbp, what lottery games do you play?
Most people I know enjoy lottery game analysis. They carefully create their own custom lottery picks, perhaps even playing their number pool in such a way that they get a minimum base match guarantee by using a lottery wheel template.
Other people I know play lottery the old-fashioned way, using static picks created from birthdates & anniversaries.
I don't know anyone who plays quickpicks, although I've seen people in a rush at the counter ask for $10 or $20 in quickpicks. Sometimes I'll do random picks, and this "my quickpicks" webpage is my middleground between a pool of lottery numbers & quickpicks:

Some states offer better odds on games, or better payouts. Also if fewer people are playing, it is less likely that you'll have to share the jackpot...sure the jackpot may be smaller, but it'd be all yours ifya lucky to hit it! The other day I saw FOURTEEN people win the CA Fantasy5 game...their shares amounted to about $8k each. I don't know about you, but I'd much rather win the base $50k pot all to myself, or at least share with maybe one other person so i get a respectable $25k! Anyway, some states have fixed pots so that you won't be left feelin short-changed.
cheers!
