+### ✅ Phase 17 — Predictor Power Features
+- [x] Add `quick_pick(game_id, exclude=None)` to `core/predictor.py` — pure random, no draw history required
+- [x] Add `exclude: set | None = None` parameter to all 5 existing strategies + `_random_ticket` + `_fill_to_count`
+  - [x] Falls back silently to full pool if excluded numbers would leave fewer candidates than `main_count`
+  - [x] Add `_safe_pool(game, exclude)` helper used by weighted_random and monte_carlo
+- [x] Update `ui/predictor_ui.py`
+  - [x] Add "Quick Pick" to `_STRATEGIES` and `_DESCRIPTIONS`
+  - [x] Add "Exclude:" entry field to Generate tab bar (comma/space-separated integers)
+  - [x] Pass parsed exclusion set to strategy on generate
+  - [x] Add "Copy" button — copies all generated tickets to clipboard as formatted text; enabled/disabled with generate/clear
+- [x] Write `tests/test_quick_pick.py` — 20 tests (326/326 total passing)
+
+---
+
 ### ✅ Phase 16 — Lottery Ball Display
 - [x] Write `ui/widgets.py`
   - [x] `ball_color(number, is_bonus) -> (bg, fg)` — range-based colour lookup (pure, no Tk)

 all values in 1..main_max, and bonus in 1..bonus_max (or None).
