  1) If you play self picks then choose winning numbers.
  2) If you play quick picks then be in the right place and the right time.

  I would also add the following:

  3) Read anything lotterybraker posts.
  4) Using current data to predict for the next draw is a "sucker" bet.
  5) If your game has pre-draws then you had better track them.

  It took me 2 years of analyzing Powerball to come to the same conclusions he has found.  Also if you are not factoring in the pre-draws then you have no chance with system play.  Do not predict for the next draw but instead for a draw way out in the future for the jackpot games.

  The best lottery advice is don't play. The odds are against you, and in the long run the vast majority of people will pay out more than they win.

  Never play a lottery which involves people gathering rocks on the day of the drawing.

  In neo-conned Amerika, bank robs you.
  Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms should be the name of a convenience store, not a govnoment agency.

  4) No it's not. You use these to ELIMINATE plays.

  5) In Five years of tracking I have only found one thing worth tracking from the prior games' pre-draws to the next game, and even that MIGHT get you only one number. You also need to remember ball sets and ball machines change from one game to the next, meaning the hardware they use tonight will probably not be the same hardware they use on Saturday. They choose these sets by random draw, I know, I've seen it in person, the whole process.

  I will help you because you are in Nebraska:

  Yes, they do post the Test games, they are hard to find:

  Go to powerball.com

  On the left side, click on 'Powerball Numbers'.

  Now, see the box on the screen that has verbage in it that starts with 'Every attempt is made to........' ?

  Ok, in that box, there is a RED DOT.  Click on that RED DOT.  Do NOT click on the blue text that says 'click here if you are having trouble.....', you click on the RED DOT.

  The following Powerball white-ball combos will not hit anytime soon (i.e. in the next month) but there will be hits before the end of 2011.  Most of these numbers are cold but as they individually get warmer they will start hitting together as combos.

  19-20-27-28-42
  19-20-26-28-42
  19-20-26-28-46
  19-20-26-42-46
  19-20-28-42-46
  19-26-28-42-46
  20-26-28-42-46
  07-08-16-46-54
  01-27-35-37-46
  16-25-37-52-57
  16-37-38-52-54
  16-35-37-52-54
  19-20-27-28-46

  Lets revisit these predictions in 3 months and see how they did.

  Too bad. I was hoping the rapture would have happened on May 21 and then all the stupid religious people would be gone off this earth. The remaining people would be a lot better off. I now hear we have Oct 21 to look forward to. I am keeping my fingers crossed. One can only hope.

  Wow, you're so bright and cheerful and upbeat!

  I bet you're a real pleasure to be around!

  I bet this is what everybody does when they see you coming:

   

   

  At least the ones who didn't lose all their money in your pool.

  Thank God for that!

  Others who have tracked the pre-draw numbers say they are too much information and confuses their attempts to pick the correct numbers of the drawing that counts.

  Tracking the pre-draws will help you pick ONE number maybe 5-6 times a year.

  As you know, I used to track all kinds of pre-draw stuff, none of it worked except for one aspect, and I don't have the time to really deal with it. Besides, you can't really rely on it, with the swapping of ballsets and ball machines.

  Five years of data tracking the pre-draws PARTIALLY agrees with one aspect of what you are saying, and it is NOT 3).
