Check the odds if you want to know how long to play a set of numbers before giving up on them.

For example, if the odds are 1:175,000,000 and you're playing a set 10 then you could play them 175,000,000/10 times before one of them might win. If ones hasn't won by then give up on them.

I personally prefer to play a different set every drawing.

This ticket would have been good for a full 20 elimination numbers.

There are lots of ways to work out what you are going to play. I like to play the first number I see from a list of recently drawn numbers or a list of hot numbers. USAMEGA has a stats page for MM and PB.

For PB bonus number tonight I like the 02.......

I have favorite numbers that I have played for years. I also have played bonus numbers for as few as 3 draws knowing that if my pick was correct it would hit right away.

If they are from a workout max for me is 5 days. If they are favorite numbers, I play them til they come out.
