I was going through a list of Results for the Powerball Game and i've noticed the Red Powerball # "28" has never hit as the winning RED Powerball Number since the first Powerball Drawing was held in New York which was back on January 7th, 2009. That was 258 Powerball Drawings ago! Mathematically every RED powerball # should hit about once in every 39 Drawings on Average since there are 39 RED Powerball #'s to choose from ( 1 - 39) . Since 258 Drawings have already taken place since the Powerball Drawing began in NY this means the RED Powerball # 28 should have already hit at least a couple of times but it still has yet to hit, and it's also the ONLY Red Powerball # that has NEVER hit as the winning Powerball # since the first Powerball drawing was held in NY!
The last time the # 28 was the winning RED Powerball Number before Powerball began in all states was on February 9th 2008 which was over 300 Drawings ago! Winning #'s for that drawing were, 4, 23, 24, 30, 43, and PB 28. Of course Powerball is now a state - wide game so the Same #'s that come up as the Results in Your State will be the exact Powerball Drawing Results for every other state. This makes the Powerball Red Ball # 28 the most overdue Red Ball since it's out the longest.I'm almost positive this is the out the Longest Red Ball Number For the Powerball Game but if I am wrong please correct me.
The odds of winning the Jackpot can be reduced from the original 1 in 195,249,054 to just 1 in 5,138,133 if you use Powerball 28 as your red ball and Powerball 28 is actually drawn since the chances of matching The Five White Ball #'s without the Powerball are 1 in 5,138,133 as stated on the back of the Powerball Game Card. However thats if you play just 1 game of Powerball. Play 10 games of powerball and Divide those odds by 10 and you get about a 1 out 513, 813 chance of winning the Jackpot. 1 in 513,813 odds can be tough but it's much easier than 1 out of 195,249,054 ! (Be aware these odds reduction statistics will only be in effect when Powerball # 28 is actually drawn as the Red Ball #.) KNowing that # 28 is the most overdue Red Ball I no Longer have to worry about matching the Five White Ball Numbers PLus the Powerball Red # now i'll just have to worry about choosing Five White Ball #'s.
My guess is that the Powerball # 28 will hit as the Red Ball REALLY soon. I'm playing it as the Powerball # in Every game of powerball I play and also adding the Powerplay option to the ticket(s). That way if I play 10 games and the Powerplay is x5 I will win $15 per game just for matching the Powerball ! I may also get lucky and match a couple of white ball #'s to win greater tier prizes or even all 5 white balls #'s and hit the Jackpot. Good luck to anyone who will try to use the Powerball 28 Red Ball # in future Powerball Games. I'll keep this thread updated and Post My results when # 28 is drawn as the Winning Powerball Red #.
