LottoNick56:

I know how you are feeling. I've had it where I just KNOW I'm going to win.... and I don't.

I am bummed you didn't win. Not only would that have cool for you, but for Lottery Post too!

Just remember, you can't win if you don't play. I just play one quickpick. I figure if it's meant to be, it will happen with just one line as much as it would if I bought 10 lines.

The overall odd of any one ticket winning something is 1 in every 31.8 tickets sold so after buying 50 QPs, winning on two of those tickets only slightly exceeds the overall odds. The odds against any 50 tickets just breaking even (winning $100) are 245 to 1. By wheeling a group of numbers you could expect to get more than two winning tickets but only if enough of the numbers you choose are drawn. Brad Duke played his system of buying over 100 tickets a drawing for several months before he won.

It's nice knowing, now, that I'm not alone in my perceptions regarding this game. With so many numbers, combinations, and pre-tests involved, I just can't see how anyone would even begin to want to even consider a system for this game. Very well written in all aspects.

What I can't fathom is how .................

Don't feel bad, there are plenty of players who have won big once and can't fathom why they can't win big again after repeating what they did for their first big win a hundred times or more. It's the unpredictable nature of a random drawing. You probably won something, just not what you expected. If you were with in these parameters then everything was normal.

Yup, systems are a dime a dozen. New ones come along all the time, claiming they have cracked the code . Steve Player is a good example of that

claim to shame.

No conspiracies involved in PB, just flawed misconceptions.

It has nothing to do with anything being rigged, but rather the nature of the game. The game is about being random... anything can happen. Every number has the same chance to hit one draw as it does the next. Plus as someone already mentioned, between Saturday's draw and Wednesday's draw there will have been 5 draws as well as different ball sets between each official draw.

This is why I have such strong feelings against system people who think they can win a jackpot based off a system . A sy... [ More ]

I know the drawing has already occured but good luck anyway! I guess if 2 heads are better than one, then 100 chances are better than one, or atleast alot funner to check

I only posted the information as a reference to pre-draws, okay. It only shows what happened during the tests, and, will let a player know if they actually matched numbers then as opposed to the actual draw. To be perfectly honest with you, it can be both dangerous and very disheartening in the event of matching all the numbers during a pre-test but losing on the official draw.

Again, my point was to allow players to compare their numbers played (live or fun) against the pre and post test re... [ More ]

There was some discussion here at LP around 2008-2009 regarding the matrix of Powerball. This used to be a 5/55 1/42 game before additional states were invited. Noone thought the matrix would change...but it did. They added (4) on the meat of the game from (55) to (59) but only knocked off (3) PB's down to the previous (39). Now, they've went on to bump off another (4) which still hasn't accomplished very much although several tickets matched (5) numbers. Just to illustrate something here, they... [ More ]

What good is knowing something after the fact? That information is only of value to the players who want rant about losing once the official numbers are posted.

You make statements about what is likely and unlikely to happen that aren't supported by facts, perhaps you should run a lottery analyzing program before picking your next numbers.

Nick, as a follow up on my previous post concerning pre-draws, I'm posting the results of last night's pre-tests and post-tests. You and everyone can now compare your numbers to these results to see if you had some winners prior to the official draw, as well as afterwards. Hope this helps to shed some light on things, okay.

LN56, I'm seeing where you tend to take the drawings for granted and this is a huge mistake. I've discussed many times here on how the pre-draws have a direct impact and influence on the next official draw, okay. Pre-draws allow any and everything to re-occur because the balls are tumbled and drawn up to (5) times prior to the actual draw.

As you've already witnessed,( 9 ) (10) were drawn in the same positions from one draw to the next...and this is with pre-draws between them. Same thing wi... [ More ]

Sorry to hear LottoNick. Don't be discouraged however, it's only natural to feel that way after dropping a C note!

LottoNick56 — Sun, 10 Jun 2012 20:12:53 GMT

Well, as you know, this time really didn't end up being my time. What I can't fathom is how two 1-35 numbers can repeat two times in just five weeks (14 and 27). Also, during that same time period 9 and 10 repeated back to back weeks for the white balls. The odds on that occuring must be crazy. I am sometimes on the conspiracy side for this lottery in order to boost the jackpot. By just making the powerball number repeat, they are automatically able to knock millions of tickets out from a chance... [ More ]

It's now the day after and you know if it was your time. I expected a follow-up post.

I didn't play but I had a feeling the bonus #27 would repeat since the most popular repeat frequency is one. Had I played a line, I would have won my money back plus some.

Although I don't feel it's my time, I'm tempted to play 10 lines this Wednesday. A $240M jackpot is getting close to the point where $2 per line might be justified.

LottoNick56 - very good luck! 100$ is a fine amount to spend. I spend 2$ per draw per MM/PB (8$/wk). one of my bff's spends 63$ per draw... that's what is in her budget. Me? I would rather spend the extra money elsewhere. It's all self moderated, self-directed and entertainment $$.

Hey, best of luck on this. The winning combo just might be in the mix...never know!!! I spent my ususal $375 and will see another $75 profit as well...on Pick 3 that is. It's reliable as long as I don't deviate from the approach. I've been kinda stuck on small profits for a while now.

If the winning ticket is from PA however, you may have some competition from dpoly, if he has anything to say about it.

I have invested $100 into tonight's Powerball lottery for 50 lines. Although most, if not all of you, would warn against this type of bet, I feel as though this is my time. I feel that I have done a ton of number games work (like Brad Duke) to eliminate a ton of inprobable numbers/ combinations and have given myself the best chance I can to win a prize. Hopefully I haven't eliminated any of the winning numbers in my analysis work and will have all the numbers still in play and in my favor. May l... [ More ]
