I mean I am playing powerball in North Carolina on July 1, 2006. what numbers should I play?
WOW, moneynow5, didn't realize Powerball had so many numbers! I haven't studied this game and am not sure how the powerball will affect the outcome of the numbers. If I include it, we are looking at an added 6 numbers per line. What you can do, since the powerballs were 23 and 32, is just eliminate the 23,24 25, and 32,33,34 if you want to shorten these strings even more. Keep in mind you MIGHT want to keep the 20's numbers since the powerball 23 was the only one that provided them to give you a more balanced set of numbers.
Well,we managed to get it down to 31 numbers apiece. Better than 55 but still, my gosh, a lot to choose from. I don't know if you've read the rest of my posts but someone suggested you could also eliminate the numbers from the 2 drawings themselves so that would get rid of another 11 numbers.
If this is anything like MegaMillions, I have found that it doesn't work so well. I tried testing with the Mega and I never could get it to come out right and haven't had time to really study it. So,I would suggest you might want to just watch these on paper over the next 5 or 6 draws to see if we come even close. Sorry I can't be of more help at this time. Is that the only game in your state?

Hi,BarbaraAnn,
Where have you been? Are you keeping yourself busy? Looks like you got a good set of numbers here but they're spaced out a little far. Might give us too many numbers. Let's see.

You're welcome,BA68! You're a perfect example of reassuring what I've been saying all along, that the first string (S+1+2) or the fourth string (+1+2+3) are the strings that produce the most winners. Did you check out my new post on how to break these down further? Hope so! It will help you cluster the winners together better when you use your wheel. Ask if you need help,thanks!!

Hey lottolaughs its me again have you ever thought of trying the 6 # games?
Yes,day-day,these can be used for pick 6 games as well. I have tried it and it works well here in CA. Not sure about other states but you could try it out and see for yourself. Tons of 5/6's are possible and all 6 on plenty of occasions. The only reason I haven't pursued it more intensely is because of how many numbers you will have to consider wheeling. Out of the 47 numbers in the CA. game I can usually get it down anywhere from 25 to 30 numbers. But that's still a lot and why I instead chose to focus on the pick 5 where it's a little more manageable.
I was just thinking that for any of you who may have Gail Howard's Lotto Advantage, use her following numbers chart to pick and choose from your strings. That would probably be a great chart to lessen the field a notch.

Yes,CARBOB. A couple people have told me they have put this on Excel. I'm in the process of creating a program where you just punch in your 2 drawings and your numbers will come up wheeled and ready to go. It will be customized for every state.
