As of last night, the rolling 6/49 is at $5,860,000. This is a slow roll, as the jackpot does not go up much with each draw. The first ticket played this week matched 3/6 ($2) and 5/18 ($5).

Over the next few weeks I will stay on the M6 cycle until it gets hit, then it is alternating between PB and MM for the rest of the year. If dumb luck is a component, may as well go big. There is slightly less frustration involved when a one in 200+ million odds ticket misses than not even catching a single 1 in 1,000 after multiple attempts.

Fun facts:

On the power ball red ball, the longest out is 8, which has last been seen 96 draws ago. Classification is NB, or the Neutral Below the median. It is the lowest of the 7 NB numbers. In the followers, it is 18th on the list.

On the mega millions gold ball, the longest out is 15, which has last been seen 105 draws ago. Classification is the coldest of the cold numbers. In the followers it is 16th on the list.

Today's coding will involve removing the white ball list truncation discovered earlier. Already fixed on windows, just need to push the update to the Android version. Will also take another look at finding the single source of truth for the PA draw histories so Millionaire for Life can be added.

On an unrelated note, on 3/9 the final payment was made on the 30 year mortgage! Our 31st anniversary is coming up next week as well.
