  I would like to know for those of you that play Powerball, how often do you buy Power Play? I never buy Power Play. I would rather put that extra $1 towards another set of numbers that could win the jackpot.

  Gonna win.

  my countries powerball is 5/45 + 1/45 odds of winning Div 1 is 1 in 54,979,155 for $0.65c a line. i figure its gonna be a long time before i win, so i better start playing now.

  " Still swinging, still missing "
  2014 = -1016; 2015= -1409; 2016  = -1171; 2017 = -1257 ; 2018 = - 1380 =  TOT =  - 6233

  keno historic = -2291 ; 2015= -603; 2016= -424; 2017 =-427; 2018= -223   TOT = -3968

  Although I never do now, I have in the past.  And it paid off for me  a time or two...but that was it.  The fact is, I am like you.  I would rather put that money towards another set of numbers. 

  Even a quick pick would be a nice switch for me, since I have been going through some sort of drought lately.  Granted, I have been under a tremendous amount of stress, but the numbers just aren't coming to me.  I usually at least think a number is going to come out.  But not lately.  I  can only get one number.  Last night I nailed the 25 and 49 for powerball.  But they were on two different lines.  (useless)  And 54 is always on my tickets --again, on another line.  So powerplay would not be my friend right now., that would only add to my frustration.

  Unless.... do you think buying powerplay adds to the probability of getting a money hit?  That is an interesting question.

  I always buy it..when they had that 10 thingie, I hit the powerball number and got 30.00 for a 2.00 play.

  If you know your number is going to hit, have patience and then KILL IT!

  You never know when you will get another hit.

  I buy tickets in Canada, not power play though! It gets pretty discouraging, I hope to achieve a prize eventually.

  I hit on one of those too, this year. Real nice, that 10x'er.
