Hello All!
I thought I would open this topic up for those who would like to share their strategy involved in why they are picking or avoiding numbers for tonight's Powerball drawing. Hope my due diligence below is not too confusing but this is how I have come to my conclusion for most of my numbers for tonight. I was able to go from 59 choices to 20 remaining numbers to pick from after looking over the numbers. Obviously any number at any time is capable of being drawn but since it is completely random, I like to try to have the statistics on my side so that I can remove as many numbers as I possibly could from the pool of 59 white balls. Feel free to comment and add your own techniques for removing possible numbers from the pool of 59. I hope to do this for every drawing if it helps anyone out there, but who knows! Good luck all!
