All of tonight's numbers had be drawn at least once in the last 7 drawings so for PowerBall I might tighten up that parameter.RJOh

Yep Bug, I knew how would hit something with all 52 Megaball had I played. #25 matched 3+0 for $7 and #49 matched 2+M for $10, so it would have cost $35 for 52 chances. Oh well, there's still PowerBall before the year ends.RJOh

To include all the numbers in the list, I will not use that parameter on the 52nd pick. I still haven't made my pick and made out my cards, time is getting close.RJOh

You would also reduce your odds of winning down to about 1 in 2 million by covering all of the mega balls and pb's, right

This may be easier than I thought. When I checked the combined file, I noticed that over 80% of the time, the 5 winning numbers had appeared at least once in the previous 32 drawings. Using that as one of my parameters to make my picks, 33 and 53 are eliminated making all my picks playable in both games. Using their position on the list of 52 as the bonus ball and for $94, I got a winner in each game.RJOh

From this list of the last 100 drawings for MegaMillion and PowerBall combined, I think I can pick one set of numbers to cover both and play them in both games. 01/14/03 30 39 41 47 52 MM +27 01/15/03 04 17 30 42 44 PB +15 01/17/03 25 26 38 42 46 MM +27 01/18/03 04 17 34 48 52 PB +10 01/21/03 04 41 48 50 51 MM +23 01/22/03 20 28 30 40 43 PB +03 01/24/03 16 31 37 40 41 MM +05 01/25/03 10 12 15 49 51 PB +21 01/28/03 13 24 26 32 47 MM +34 01/29/03 10...
