For Powerball's pick 5 of 53 part you could use this table. It does not take in the lower tier of prizes; just the 5 of 5 match probabilities.Plays (lines) per system (wheel)Quantity of numbers in the system51610171517201825183018351940194519501955196019652070207520802085209020952010020 orQuantity of numbers in the systemPlays (lines) per system (wheel)15316717131826194720842114422242233952463025984

Andrew:I've never had the chance to play a 4+1 game. Given NY's population base, I can see us having such a game, along with the current Take Five.

Cash OnlyEven if you play all of the 52 mega balls (42 powerballs in the other game), you still need to win enough money from the white balls to cover your losses. I live in Nebraska, so I can only play Powerball, but since Powerball only has 42 bonus balls, I might play each of them for Saturday's drawing (still thinking about it). But don't worry Cash Only, I still want the lump sum.Keep up the good fight against AIG.Lump sum FOREVER

You could guarantee a winning Mega Millions ticket with 52 sets of numbers (each with a different Mega Ball).

I suppose that when Vanna White buys vowels, er, lottery tickets, she likes to WHEEL her consonants, er, numbers.

LottoWizAfter only winning $3 off 29 quick picks on Saturday, I have decided to go back to the strategy in which I play tickets using my numbers and playing tickets that are quick picks, and I will compare the results. Wheeling systems are too expensive and too risky for powerball, especially if you get the red ball wrong, so I will probably play hot numbers and due numbers along with red balls that are due. You said that you play a pick-6 lotto game. In what state? I play powerball (5/53

I use Gail Howards Book on wheeling systems on each Mega Million Drawing. I only wheel 8 Numbers. I have won quite a few prizes using her 8 Number wheeling system, however, no big prizes. In total, I did win $150.00 with her wheeling system, more money I won than I would have picking my own numbers and / or picking a Easy Pick from my local lottery store. No matter how many numbers you wheel, if you wheel them or just random pick, everyone knows its just about pure luck and choosing the correct

Gail Howard suggests 1/2, but from my experience of having all 6 winning #s picked, but not getting them in a winning combo together, I say she's wrong. But she's interested in selling software, and correct # selection lower prize wins *show* her stuff works. But it's not giving you what you really want. If you're a system player your techniques for # selection are good, you should be able {over time) to keep reducing your # selection group while increasing the amount of #s you get right. Un...

I choose (10-12)numbers in the Pick-5 and (16 with 1 Key Number) in the Pick-6.Then I apply the right amount of filters to reduce the combinations down to a reasonable amount.

How many numbers should you wheel?

dowjones — Sun, 18 May 2003 14:03:35 GMT

Hi All,Jus wanted to see what's the preferred choice for wheelers .My personal preference is for close to all the numbers. My rationale being that a wheel is only good IFF you manage to capture the required minimum amount of numbers.Would appreciate your explanation of your choice.Cheers
