Five years of data tracking the pre-draws PARTIALLY agrees with one aspect of what you are saying, and it is NOT 3).

Tracking the pre-draws will help you pick ONE number maybe 5-6 times a year.

As you know, I used to track all kinds of pre-draw stuff, none of it worked except for one aspect, and I don't have the time to really deal with it. Besides, you can't really rely on it, with the swapping of ballsets and ball machines.

kind of an asinine statement.

Others who have tracked the pre-draw numbers say they are too much information and confuses their attempts to pick the correct numbers of the drawing that counts.

Wow, you're so bright and cheerful and upbeat!

I bet you're a real pleasure to be around!

I bet this is what everybody does when they see you coming:

At least the ones who didn't lose all their money in your pool.

Thank God for that

Too bad. I was hoping the rapture would have happened on May 21 and then all the stupid religious people would be gone off this earth. The remaining people would be a lot better off. I now hear we have Oct 21 to look forward to. I am keeping my fingers crossed. One can only hope.

The following Powerball white-ball combos will not hit anytime soon (i.e. in the next month) but there will be hits before the end of 2011. Most of these numbers are cold but as they individually get warmer they will start hitting together as combos.

I will help you because you are in Nebraska:

Yes, they do post the Test games, they are hard to find:

Go to powerball.com

On the left side, click on 'Powerball Numbers'.

Now, see the box on the screen that has verbage in it that starts with 'Every attempt is made to........' ?

Ok, in that box, there is a RED DOT. Click on that RED DOT. Do NOT click on the blue text that says 'click here if you are having trouble.....', you click on the RED DOT.

4) No it's not. You use these to ELIMINATE plays.

5) In Five years of tracking I have only found one thing worth tracking from the prior games' pre-draws to the next game, and even that MIGHT get you only one number. You also need to remember ball sets and ball machines change from one game to the next, meaning the hardware they use tonight will probably not be the same hardware they use on Saturday. They choose these sets by random draw, I know, I've seen it in person, the whole process.... [ More ]

Never play a lottery which involves people gathering rocks on the day of the drawing.

jim , how does one track the pre-draws ? i mean , is there a way to find out what the numbers are that were drawn in pre-draws ? or does one just guess ? lol

The best lottery advice is don't play. The odds are against you, and in the long run the vast majority of people will pay out more than they win.

I would also add the following:

3) Read anything lotterybraker posts.

4) Using current data to predict for the next draw is a sucker bet.

5) If your game has pre-draws then you had better track them.

It took me 2 years of analyzing Powerball to come to the same conclusions he has found. Also if you are not factoring in the pre-draws then you have no chance with system play. Do not predict for the next draw but instead for a draw way out in the future for the jackpot games.

I wholeheartedly agree, Elizabeth.

Get your groceries, utility bills and Whiskey paid for first and then buy your lottery tickets.

You can't go wrong like that.

Riddle me this, Batman:

Convince me I have a better chance of winning a jackpot if the odds are one million to one, let alone 198 million to one?

How about 1,000 to one?

Even 25 to one?

It's even a decent bet that if I let you choose if the odds were TEN to ONE you would not get the right number.

Lottery is a game of extreme CHANCE, fueled by a DREAM, no more, no less.

Yeah but havin all them jackpots and not playin em all is kinda like havin a bunch a bottles a whiskey and not drinkin em all.

Just don't seem natural.

Hellfire, it don't hardly seem possible.

Elizabeth03 — Sun, 01 May 2011 23:20:01 GMT

You should not spend money that you need for groceries or your utility bills. Pay those first, then any money left that you can afford to part with, buy a few lottery tickets. But please do not spend more than you can afford to

2) If you play quick picks then be in the right place and the right time.

1) Study your lottery's tendencies, the trends can be friends to

your cause.

2) Have Fun, enjoy the ups and downs.

3) Never play more than you can afford, or have budgeted for.

not even a single dollar amount over.

this can lead to gambling dis function.

Good Luck All

When it comes to advice for playing the lotteries, there is no one size fit all rules, each player has different situations and circumstances. For example, not everyone can afford my lottery budget $5 per week.

Hey ridge.

I run a pool of 10 at work, and we do win more than I win playing myself. Of course, the winnings are split 10 ways, but, if we hit a jackpot, that's ok! LOL. The more tics you play, the better your chances of winning.

rcbbuckeye — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 12:39:53 GMT

I considered doing this myself. The idea of focusing on just one game has its merits, but I really like playing all the games even if I only play one or two bucks on each one. Even winning Tx 2 Step at 200K would pay off the debt and get the kids thru college.

I agree with sully as well, but I just feel like playing the one game is good enough for me. Not really a big fan of the MM or PB right now especially when the prize doesn't meet the odds.

Best advice is join a group and increase your odds of winning anywhere from 10 fold to 50 fold. Can't beat those odds with any other system.

Play ONE jackpot game, and ONE jackpot game only. Why? because, you can play more at once and in the long run you may even save money. I decided to only start playing the hot lotto recently since the odds are better and the jackpots not too bad 5.43M cash right now is STILL life changing.
