I convinced myself that I should start blogging an hour ago.

  Things are getting pretty slow on this site - Or is it old? But whatever it is, things have gradually changed. Powerball is at $108M but no one seems excited about it. I wouldn't blame them. It might just be jackpot fatigue. I experinced that myself. It is more like being broke when you needed to be spending more. Well, I am definitely staying away from that. It is going to be a strict $1 bet till the jackpot gets to around $70M. I found this to be advantageous because you play all your best numbers on one line and can really make some good calls. Besides after a big jackpot like this, it restarts at a tiny jackpot.

  Not to say that I am less bit excited about tonights drawing. I have be anticipating the drawing. I can't say why exactly. But I got my tickets yesterday. At first, I wanted to play 3 lines as usually. After letting the number sit for a while, I then reviewed it. I made some key changes as replacing the 8s in the 2 lines and a change to the 3rd line. It was exciting and I wanted to go with 19 as PB for all three lines. I slowly changed my mind. I felt it was put all my eggs in one basket.

 After a general feel of the number progress, I felt a need to add 2 extra lines and play it safe by spreading my PB numbers across the range to include most of the decades.

My Powerball Progress Chart seems it might be quite handy. It has made some good calls in the last few draws but I am yet to hit with it. The WB prediction is just way off. I can't wait until I can fairly test it and adjust it.

I haven't had a winning ticket in at least 2 months. I made an observation which invoked memories of an old friend I had to play. I just need to remember to play it for 10 straight drawings at least.

At the end I bought 5 lines with powerplay. I figured at least I will get the PB and get some return on $10.
