This spike had a wider gap (24) than draw#199 (20) and draw# 195 (11) ... that's 3 high spikes in 8 drawings! The last 2 high spikes had high Powerballs, this time it was a 9... go figure...

my ticket of 04-11-28-32-47  +20  wasn't even close... results were 25-34-36-46-49  +09, leaving a delta of +21/+23/+8/+14/+2 PB -11. Not a good draw for me.

My similarly computed Cash5 system is doing a bit better, since I only play when the jackpot rolls... so far each play got me my $1 back... so it has basically been free so far...

I don't play the Match6 anymore, but still track it... I would have picked 3/6 in one shot if I played friday... just my luck... the one I don't play comes in a winner. I only update my cash5 sheet after a rollover because I don't want to know if it would have hit on low JP draws ;-) ignorance is bliss, or so they say.

There must be a better way...
