Jack, what's UP with the powerball? Have you done a chart/study on just the powerball and why it's so darned illusive to pick out?!?
I haven't had any success picking off the red ball. If I ever get this system down so's I'm only buying one number, and if I ever get enough ahead to do it, if I haven't worked out a way to predict the red ball I'm planning to buy 43 tickets with one number for the whites, each possible red ball number.
It's a long way from that, however. A couple of draws ago I was feeling ahead enough, and the numbers seemed to be behaving themselves well enough, so's I bought an extra five tickets with the multiplier, with the same numbers on them. Crashed and burned completely on that.
I never thought before of numbers "running in herds"! What a great analogy!! What I see in this chart is 7 likes 44, and 32, and 11, and 17. Is that what you see, too?
I doubt you're missing anything. 45 pops up a lot, and 11. It's just another piece of the puzzle to give cause for knuckling the noggin. The other way of looking at the same data is to separate out the individual dates and count the frequency of each number that hits with it on the perzact draw. Gives you a whole nuther look at things that way, and worth the exercize.
