Below are copies of my latest winning PowerBall tickets. I wish I could say I chose these numbers myself, but the truth is Steve Player and OpCom, Inc. deserve ALL of the credit here. Last May I received the Players' Action Monthly newsletter and spent $300 for a subscription to weekly PowerBall numbers chosen by Steve Player. All I do is fill out the bet slips and buy the tickets. I have the choice of playing the numbers "as is" or adding the PowerPlay feature for an extra dollar per combination. Given the astronomical odds against hitting a PowerBall jackpot, I play mostly for lower-tier prizes, so I almost always select the PowerPlay option, except when I have my head up my @ss (more on that later). Since there are 48 numbers to play on each weekly list, my ticket cost is $96.00 per drawing, or $192.00 per week.

     You can read the next few paragraphs or just skip to the tickets, but I wouldn't be giving Steve Player and OpCom their due without telling the following story.

     Before I received my first subscription list, I was required to sign a registration form and non-disclosure agreement, which is standard procedure for many of Steve Player's high-end pro systems. The letter enclosed with the agreement stated that I would receive my first list of numbers for the month of July (it came in the mail during the final days of June). To make a long story short, I bought my tickets faithfully for five weeks and won NOTHING. When I received a new list of numbers for the month of August, I filled out my bet slips using the prescribed numbers and again won NOTHING during the first two weeks. I was beginning to lose my patience, as well as a significant amount of money, so I whipped off a nasty, scathing letter to OpCom. I explained that correctly predicting one or two numbers in the white field didn't pay anything. I pointed out that Mr. Player hadn't been able to correctly predict the red PowerBall even once in the past six weeks. I complained about the pile of sixty or so non-winning tickets taking up space on one corner of my work station. I called people names and even swore a little bit. Just for emphasis, I even banged my fist on my desk a few times as I was typing. In short, I whined and moaned because I wasn't winning any money. However, being the trooper that I am, I promised I would keep playing a little longer before giving up, if only to demonstrate my faith in Steve Player's abilities as a lottery prognosticator. I spent another $384.00 during the last two weeks of August, and added those tickets to my ever-growing stack of losers.

     Then my September list showed up in the mail. I could feel my ears turning red with fury as I looked over the month's selections. "Screw it," I mumbled, "I'm going down with the ship!" I sat down with my Sharpie pen and filled out my bet slips, but I elected to save some money and so I didn't PowerPlay my selections. The next day I drove to the store to buy my tickets (I always buy my PowerBall tickets on Tuesdays and Fridays because, when the jackpot gets high, the terminals around here have a bad habit of going down on the days when the drawings are held). Returning home, I tossed the tickets on top of my dictionary and went about my daily routine. On Thursday, September 3, I called up the PowerBall web site from my "Favorites" list and learned that I had hit three numbers on four lines, which only paid $56.00, since I neglected to choose the PowerPlay option. Anyway, I actually won $8.00 in that drawing. "Yippee," I thought to myself, "the drinks are on me tonight." 

     While I was mildly surprised, I was also a little disappointed, so I didn't buy any tickets for the next drawing. I reasoned that, if three numbers had just hit in Wednesday's drawing, it would be a waste of money to play the exact same combinations again on Saturday. By saving that $96.00, I missed out on a very significant win. Had I played the same numbers I played the previous Wednesday, I would have hit THREE numbers on TEN lines, and FOUR numbers on TWO lines. The PowerPlay multiplier was x 3 (again), so every three number hit was worth $21.00, and the two four numbers hits were worth $300.00 each, for a total return of $810.00! 

     Humbled, I sat down and wrote a heartfelt letter of apology to OpCom. The subject line read, "EXACTLY what I deserved ..." I told them I had learned my lesson, and that my faith in Steve Player had been fully restored. I asked that they ignore my previous comments, and brought to their attention the fact that I truly am an idiot. I gave them my word that I would never again attempt to second-guess Steve Player's predictions.

     So I kept playing, making sure to pay the extra dollar per line for the PowerPlay option. The next three drawings proved fruitless, but then, on September 20 (a Sunday), I checked the numbers and found that I had won $168.00 in Saturday's drawing. Steve Player had once again correctly predicted three numbers, this time on eight lines out of the forty-eight I had played. I thought, "Wow! If I were a drinker, I really could buy drinks tonight!" I do enjoy an ice-cold beer on occasion, when it's very hot and I've been working in the yard, and I must confess a weakness for Walker's Blue Label Scotch during the holiday season. Beyond that, though, I just never developed much of a taste for alcohol.

     My personal drinking habits aside, this brings us to the final week of September. Last Tuesday, I filled out my bet slips with the week's numbers and headed for the store. My subscription list said, "Use PowerBall 11," so I chose that number for all 48 selections. For the first time, I was actually looking forward to checking the numbers. Truthfully, since the MUSL performs FOUR test draws prior to the prize drawing, I never expected that Steve Player would be able to correctly predict the red PowerBall number, but that's what happened. He was also right about the 7 in the white field so, overall, it was a pretty good payday ($860.00). Admittedly, I still haven't won back what I've spent since the first week of July, but I can see he's beginning to zero in on a big hit. Winning tickets are beginning to appear with some consistency now, so I anticipate at least a five-number hit at some point in the near future and, given Steve Player's previous record for winning state lotteries all over the country, even a jackpot isn't out of the question. What you see below are the ten tickets I bought using Steve Player's numbers from my subscription, which total $840.00 in winnings. I've purposely omitted another $20.00 winner that contains my "regular" numbers, those that I've been playing for the past twenty years or so. If those numbers should ever be drawn (hopefully before I'm dead), I feel more comfortable believing I won't have to share my jackpot because I revealed my numbers to the world. I'm funny that way (and maybe a little selfish). 

     Many thanks to konane and Todd, for helping me to figure out the LP.com Image Manager (mouse over "Members" on the blue menu bar, then click on "My Images" for detailed instructions on using this feature). I've been trying to post these tickets since Thursday morning, and I was ready to give up. Thanks especially to Steve Player and OpCom. I know many members believe that Steve Player is a con artist and that his systems don't work. However, I've been a big fan of his for many years, and I hope the images below will give you cause to reconsider. His Pick-4 PrimeLine and Pick-4 MoneyMap Systems are, in my opinion, two of the best available at any price for that game, and they both beat ANY software-based system on the market, hands down. 

     Please don't PM me and ask me to share his predictions for upcoming drawings. I signed an agreement to keep that information confidential (plus I paid three hundred bucks for it), and I believe any intellectual property should be afforded protection at least equal to that of a copyright or patent. If you want to buy a subscription for your favorite game (MegaMillions, PowerBall, Pick-3, Pick-4, Pick-5 or for your state's lotto game), you can contact OpCom via one of the links below. I'm not sure whether these subscriptions are still available but, as you can see, it certainly wouldn't hurt to ask.
