Ehh not the biggest fan of these numbers (I didn't play, just my opinion). I have seen worst results (especially of late) even with the gap between front to back only being 18. I could see this being picked with all birthday numbers, or from a FP/QP.

3/5 for 10 bucks. Numbers were 11, 14, 20, 23, 33... Payout ended up being 407,009. Oh well did well in AC on the poker tables and still have powerball tickets from NJ, hopefully I win so I dont have to do news conference like NY...
It has been too long since I last went down there. I want to get down there soon. I am glad to hear you did well & good luck on Powerball!

NJ Cash 5 is 360k. Got my 20 bucks in while in Atlantic City, hoping for the best...
This is what's wrong with Take5.
Yeah, Jersey Cash5 is a 5/40 game and the odds against players are a little longer. (I think it's 615,000 : 1 vs 575,000 : 1) BUT! Due to that extra ball, the jackpot rolls over if nobody wins it.
The reason it's done is because there are 19 million people living in The State of New York. New Jersey's population is 8 million.

There are so many ways to look at the numbers. (Too many if ya ask me.)
Last nite's numbers are uglier than they look at first glance. I think there's a lot of things wrong with them.
All evens. (An odd/even split of 3/2 has the most possible combo's of 195,000. 0/5 has 15,000)
Only four digits (1,2,4,& 8. Usually there's six digits that come out, with 1,2 & 3 being the most common)
A short range of 18.
A low side bias of 4 numbers comming from the low side.
The 4 doubled up.
Two numbers from the singles, & two numbers from the teens.
They're "birthday" numbers. Jackpots get real low real fast when birthday numbers come out.
No number from the thirties in the fifth position.
3-2-0 group distribution. Only 22,00 possible combo's that average comming out once every 26 drawings. It's a lot less than 22,000 combo's when you factor in a 0/5 odd/even split.
Only 1 number appeared that also appeared in the last 4 drawings.
Yet there were 4 JP winners! Two with Player Pix, and two with FP's.

I think I've hit "The Wall" with Take5.
Right now, it'd be very easy for me to walk away from it. It's frustrating because I've looked at the numbers every which way they can be looked at, (ala my last post) and I've never done better than winning 25 bucks with 3 numbers. Not even a 4 bagger. Which, although a 4 bagger would be nice, (and I'd surely cash the ticket) I really dont want. I dont view hitting 4 numbers as "the next step" towards winning a JP. And I aint gonna try wheelin' 'em. I aint the bucks to do that.
Then, outta no where, this little voice whispers in my ear; "Keep playing. It's possible to hit 5 numbers, you just gotta be patient." Sheeee-it! Patients are for doctors.
Remember Tug McGraw? He was the pitcher with The Mets who screamed at the fans "You gotta believe!" Tug's dead, he died of brain cancer, but maybe, just maybe I'll continue to believe. RIP Tug.

Its up to you, but I vote to keep playing a little longer. Often I find I hit most when I am thinking the numbers I am playing have NO chance to hit.
Well I have yet to check my numbers so I can't comment on how I did. While the range is the greatest it can be at 38, it is not the prettiest of draws with 4 even & 1 odd. I know for a fact my dad has 3 because he plays 1,2,3,38,39 religiously & I mock him for it all the time.

07/12 Results: 25, 28, 29, 30, 36
What a <snip>ty set of numbers with only a spread of 11, no singles or teens. I am glad I did not play but if someone hit it would definitely be from a FP/QP.
