pigskin,
Maybe everyone in the group didn't do extremely well, but for the second drawing in a row, we did manage to predict all the balls.
I have no idea where fja got the 50 and 51 as red PowerBall numbers, but since they couldn't have been played anyway, I'm inclined to say that he picked the PowerBall using just two numbers. Now, who can name that PowerBall in one number? Remember, this is all about improving our skills at prediction. Using more numbers to predict the PowerBall number is passe' now.
Those lines I posted in another thread were just some crazy system that I was experimenting with. It's nothing like what I used to generate my selections for The Pigskin Challenge. That's why the numbers were so different.
Even though I matched three numbers from ten in my challenge selections, I did not manage to cash a ticket. I'm now painfully aware of the number of possible combinations that can be made from ten numbers. In future challenges, I'll be using only seven or eight number selections so that I'll be able to put all the possiblities into play when I refine my skills a bit more. I'm thinking that a $100,000 win looks very promising.
I've been tweeking my selection method for the past couple of draws. I'm hoping it was more than dumb luck that I matched those three numbers. If I can back up that success rate or do better in the next few draws, I'll be onto something.
Now, let's all sharpen our pencils and crack this PowerBall game!
C'ya next challenge,
aye'
