If I win it will be on Powerball, MM, or Connecticut Classic Lotto .

CASH,Geez we need to get you some luck or something. I never hit much when I played PB in DE but ever since it came to PA at the end of last June I've hit for $400 and $35.

The best I've had on Powerball was $7 (both ways) and a $6 PowerPlay ($3 x 2) when 1x was possible. On Mega, I've had a $3 winner.

Vision,I didn't make the drive, so if nobody wins I will have the same chance this Friday with at least $35M added to the pot. I only buy QP's for my friends who ask me to pick up some tickets for them , I play all 53 numbers. I like to see all 5 winning numbers somewhere on my tickets, hopefully on the same line. Good luck if you played.RJOh

Since I believe if you have a budget of only a few dollars a week for entertainment and you chose to entertain yourself playing the lottery, then it's better to play just one. I didn't play the Megamillion last night and if I don't head over to Indiana before 5 o'clock I won't be playing the Powerball either. With two large lottery jackpots availalble, it is not a clear choice which one to play even though the Powerball has the best odds of getting something back. Good luck to anyone that d... [ More ]

The Rock (remember him?) won't like it when PB gets over $300 million since rollovers would be limited to $25 million each. He's waiting for a $500 million pot.

Powerball never got above $111 million or so when its jackpot was annuity-only (every US jackpot $120 million or higher had a cash option).

Thomas, please explain your reasoning. Are you saying that each set have different numbers? Please explain I would like to understand.

I live in Ohio and every year during the first serious snow on RT 23 going through Delware,Ohio there is a fury of major accidents. The cars are alway different, but the pattern is always the same and the local troopers warn people every year. Different people have a similar pattern of driving during the first snow. I noticed what I thought was a pattern in Powerball drawings and I posted the dates so anyone who was interested could check it out. Others may look and not notice any pattern a... [ More ]

How could there be a pattern when they normally use 4 different sets of balls? I am sure they have swapped out entire sets of the four numerous times since 1992.

Both the last two draws have had four numbers under 32. I don't see a pattern here. If I was playing I would just pick a good mix of numbers that summed up between 110 and 140.Good LuckRJOh

RJOH, do you see a pattern for the 11/27 game

RJoh: After all, the number 49 wasn't drawn in Powerball until 1997, and 50 until last month

Of the 1100+ Powerball drawings there has been *12 occassions where the lowest number has been 29 or higher. All of those drawings have been followed by drawings with a low number of 8 or less except one and over half of them had at least 4 numbers that were 32 or less. This past Saturday 11/16/02 such a combination was drawn, it will be interesting to see if the drawing this Wednesday 11/02/02 will follow that pattern. Below is a list of those drawings.* 05/27/92 30 | 32 | 41 | 42 | 44
