Many regular players play every drawing via QP. Some people may not realize all they have to do is mark their numbers once to play many drawings over years.

Powerball winner may be a regular playerOh? So I guess all those people who have played QPs for many years, including myself, are not regular players? Does this mean everytime I play a QP I am not a regular player, but if I play my own numbers I ama regular player? Sometimes people say the stupidest things.

Luck can only help a system. When it does, the results are pretty.

As the ticket was sold in Iowa, the winner(s) must be at least 21. In 1999 there was a partial share of a Powerball jackpot belonging to someone in IA not old enough.

My system is not a winning system but it is a system that works because it does what I want it to do. I continue to think if it pick combinations, it will pick a winner eventually.

MATHEMATICIANS SAY THAT THERE ISN'T SUCH A THING AS A WINNING LOTTERY SYSYTEM. WAVE THEORY ETC. STATE THAT THERE ARE 'STREAKS', BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE A SYSTEM. TRENDS, STREAKS, MOMENTUM SURE. A WINNING SYSTEM? AS ALWAYS, GOOD LUCK.

Since you agree there is no system that will allow you to win consistently, I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say. Are you suggesting that there's some system that would predict all of the winning numbers on very rare occasions, yet never predict enough of the numbers to win lower level prizes? I really can't imagine any basis for such a system other than a belief that black magic works, but only on very rare occasions. Or perhaps God wants you to win, but you, Mother Teresa, and F...

<<>>It depends on what you want the system to do....If you want it to consistantly work, then your right there are no systems that will be successfull.. If you create a system with the thought of one day hitting the lottery, and it does, then your system works, period.....if in 10 years you hit the lottery again,,,,then you have gone to the next step of proving your system,,,,,If I play the same numbers for 10 years and win, because thats what I think it will take, then its a system,,,,I used my...

Is there such a thing as a LUCKY STORE ? Gamblers tend to be superstitious; there are a few stores that sold jackpot winners twice...how does that figure? It sure is lucky. I bought Powerball tickets at the luckiest store PA ; it sold that state's largest Powerball Grand Prize winner, call me superstitious, but it's a lucky store. Will luck strike twice? I'm betting on it.

If your chosen system happens to result in picking the numbers that get drawn that's great, but it's just a matter of luck. If 1% of players pick their numbers based on some manipulation of the lot code from a can of Campbell's chicken noodle soup, then it's a safe bet that about 1% of winners will have picked their numbers based on lot codes from cans of Campbell's chicke...

One thing that's sure is that if they picked powerball numbers based on winning numbers from megamilions, it's a reallly stupid system but they got really lucky KY:Any system that wins a jackpot can't be called stupid by anyone who isn't.I'd gladly use a system that involved standing on my head stacking BBs if it worked. So would everyone else here, I'm betting.Jack

Maybe the guy just made certain he always used at least two numbers from the last jackpots won: The powerball has strange streaks like that. I have seen the powerball go up to about 8 draws without repeating one number. But lately there has been back to back repeats, especially the numbers 42 and 45. I believe no numbers from previous draws are expected to come up at least 50% of the time, at least for a 6/49 game. So it should be slightly more either way for powerball. Sometimes I play multiple... [ More ]

The tickets belongs to a married couple, and their birthdays (or maybe their kids' birthdays) are the 15th and 16th of August and November. Maybe they're 45 and 51 years old or were born in those years. One thing that's sure is that if they picked powerball numbers based on winning numbers from megamilions, it's a reallly stupid system but they got really lucky. Kind of like the people that played the fortune cookie numbers a while back.No such thing as a really stupid sysytem that works... [ More ]

Or maybe he just quickly picked some numbers? I guess the media expects someone who won to jump forward the next day and start doing interviews, even before fully validating their ticket. This helps sell papers, and tv shows...

Neubauer says it appears the winner personally chose the six winning numbers which might indicate the person plays the game regularly. It might also indicate the person has a winning system that he pulls out when the jackpot gets to $100M+.
