You might seriously want to consider flying to Blarney Castle Ireland, and give the Blarney Stone a kiss for good luck.

I've kissed it, and have done alright for myself. Your only investment would be a round trip flight and admission to Blarney Castle.

When I play I ALWAYS play both the Megaplier and the power play. But I normally only play after hitting on the 3 or 4 way.

depends on how much you play, a good start is to not repeat numbers. say you only play $5 a draw

thats 25 numbers out the big barrel. and 5 the pb one. sure randomise the 25 , and as you get cash for the pb pick 5 diff pb's

this will maximise your chance of a return.

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

Can't you buy a piece of that Blarney stone for less?

this is ok upto $22, playing all 55 of the 56 numbers. if you want to play ever PB you will get a garunteed return, of only a few bucks. but you will get a reduced cost. buying all powerballs will be what 35 games, meaning you get to play ea number 3 times, a small wheel might be posible in 35 games. reduceing your selection of hits . but this way , you will definately get all 5 numbers 3 times on the 35 tickets, just will you get any on same line is the prob.

and i just realised its $2 a play not $1 so thats $70 , for all 35 powerballs, but you get the $4 win back as a min, so $66. a draw.

i did a quick wheel, with 35 games you have 95% chance of getting 2 numbers on 1 line, i know small chance of also the powerball making a $7 win. and an 11% chance of getting 3 numbers on a laine ea draw. also a 1 in 35 it also having power ball. :(

prob best way to increase yourr odds if spending $66 a draw.

wheel is here
