Of course it should happen, and we know exactly how often we could expect it to happen.

For PB there are 3,478,761 possible combinations using all 55 of the regular balls. There are 501,942 of those combinations, or 14.4% of them, that consist of numbers 18 and higher. That means that 14.4% of the time, or roughly 1 in 7 drawings, we should expect that the lowest number will be 18 or higher. An event that happens 1 in 7 times is not rare by any reasonable definition. The probability that it... [ More ]

PLEASE tell me that that s not the amount of pre-test done on Powerball, because it is starting to get creepy...I am counting 5 pre-test for Powerball, is this true? I thought the most pre-tests they did was 2...CAN SOMEONE TELL ME THIS IS NOT HAPPENING...Another reason why i can t stand the lottery. I mean they are turning just like the casinos...Why 5 pre-tests

Does that somehow apply to the now and current ?

If not, then it's irrelevent.

It CAN happen, but as you said, the odds are astronomical, so don't play them.

What you noticed is a trend, trends change, just as a series of games where 'longshots' hit in 3 games in a row, seldom do they ever make it to 4 in a row. And 3 in a row is not worth betting on at all. Two in a row IS worth betting on.

(A Longshot to me is a number that has not hit in 25 or more games).

The odds are about the same as any other combo.

pre and post draw results show all sorts of numbers for those dates...

I said this shouldn't happen in Powerball but in fact it shouldn't happen in any lotto...

Guys, i am looking at all of Powerball draws from 2006 'til present and i see something that shouldn't happen....Let me first start buy saying that combinations in a pick6 or pick5 that start with 18 above are VERY RARE...They RARELY PLAY...I've looked at lots of history draws and I've never seen this types of combinations play one after the other, let alone 4...And i am looking at Powerball draws fro...
