I'm in Az, too. I think originally the pick was 36 numbers, right? Now it's 44. I am guessing your numbers now don't include the 8 additional numbers added to drive up the odds and increase the prize. I quit my old numbers when the odds changed and they added new numbers.
Luckily in Az we have a company that is a professional lottery pool. I've been with them for 2 years now. Last March one of my pools with 10 players hit the Fantasy 5 for $247,000. You have to be an Az resident to play the pools but it's a private company and opporating well in the state. Might be an idea for other people in other states to do the same. Not sure if I'm allowed to mention the link but Lottery Post might want to do an article on this company called PowerPick.
It's a husband/wife team, seems super busy, they add more pools as the prizes go higher and more people want to buy more tickets. This week for PowerBall I am in pools with about 600+ tickets. Amazing with all the tickets they buy not to have hit a BIG one yet. Odds are just too tough.
