Do Quick Picks Ever Win The Lottery?

It's something every lottery players wonders about when picking their lucky numbers. Should they carefully select their lucky numbers, or should they just go with the Quick Pick option? Is one more lucky than the other, or is it all down to random chance at the end of the day?
