Well, at least I know now that using Average Deviation as a base number in calculations is the way to go. Now that the big $$$s are done, I can use my $3 to start my personal Powerball Challenge I will play 1 MY pick and 1 QP and track results for 10 draws... just to see if what I am doing is working.As for the last $1 of the big win I'm going to play a QP for tomorrows PA super 6 (to CASH ONLY...

To Hypersonig,You would feel more foolest if your system had picked a winner and you had not played. I played $36 for the same results. If I had replayed the numbers I played last week, I would have collected $10. Oh well, Ohio has a $25M jackpot and I did match 5 last year, so maybe I'll put a little extra on it this Saturday. With MegaMillions, Ohio has 2 of the top 5 lottery jackpots in the country this weekend. You can now prefect your system and be ready when the next $200M+ jackpot come... [ More ]

well, in the process of trying to narrow down my excel number generation systems, I ended up just playing 42 tix for tonight's $250,000,000.00 (covering all the powerball#s). I also played each white ball at least once, hopefully the 5+1 line up on the same line... time will tell, but win or lose, I'll only be looking at 1 of the 8 systems for future draws.

no, don't have to play the same 5 white balls...I don't wheel the 42, too much $$$ for the small return... although if I hit for $100 again anytime soon, I might try that for 2 drawings...

I like to pick the most popular powerballs that have not hit with any or no more than one of the numbers in the combinations. Right now since the file only has 78 draws, that fairly easy to do. I do the same with Megamillions.RJOh.

If you are going to play alot of tickets, wheel the PB#s (Play 42 tix, covering each PB), this brings your odds down from 120,526,770:1 to 2,939677:1I have no proven method to pick the PB, even looking at the stats, it appears to be a wild #.FYI, since PB went to 5/53 + 1/42, the following numbers have not been chosen as the powerball... 14, 18, 27, 33, 39, while 20 and 35 have been drawn 5 times each in the last 78 drawings

Was that a collective DUH or what!? C'mon, y'all we're playing for $240 million dollars! All I am saying is why not reduce your odds from 125 million to one to 2.6 million to one by playing the first 5 numbers like a 5-number game and then trying to pick a power number or two to play with those numbers. I just don't know how to get a power number. Can anybody help me? Hot number, cold number, repeat, adjacent, date what

I would be happy to win $100 or $175K, so I play it like a 5-number game and then try to pick one powerball/bonus number as a repeat, hot or cold number. Does anyone have a preferred way to pick the power ball
