A few things you can check for powerball:
1. Do you feel repeat numbers are in play?
They don't come up as often in the new matrix that started on 10/7/2015 versus the old matrix.
16 - 19 - 32 - 34 - 57 PB = 13
2. Do a +1-1 and/or a +2-2 analysis on the numbers in the current draw.
-1 analysis: 15 - 18 - 31 - 33 - 56 || -2 analysis: 14 - 17 - 30 - 32 - 55
#'s drawn: 16 - 19 - 32 - 34 - 57 || #'s drawn: 16 - 19 - 32 - 34 - 57
+1 analysis: 17 - 20 - 33 - 35 - 58 || +2 analysis: 18 - 21 - 34 - 36 - 59
3. After steps 1 and 2 are complete, you might have captured 1 maybe 2 of the winning numbers.
14 - 15 - 16 - 17 - 18 - 19 - 20 - 21 - 30 - 31 - 32 - 33 - 34 - 35 - 36 - 55 - 56 - 57 - 58 - 59
So out of 20 numbers, you MAY have captured 1 or 2 numbers; or possibly none.
4. Cross Reference Numbers in item 3 with the Pretest Numbers from prior draw SAT, 01/09/2016.
(log on to powerball.com, click on check your numbers, then click on little red ball at bottom)
67 - 52 - 48 - 16 - 09 PB = 10
32 - 06 - 67 - 02 - 36 PB = 02
23 - 24 - 05 - 12 - 18 PB = 12
12 - 13 - 66 - 21 - 53 PB = 13
So out of 18 PB pretest number possibilities, you have five matches: 16 - 18 = 21 - 32 - 36
Within the pretest numbers, you MAY have up to 3 numbers; or possibly none.
5. The cross referenced numbers in item # 4 are: 16 - 18 - 21 - 32 - 36
If the drawing is on a Wednesday (which it will be), give more weight to the numbers
which were picked on a Wednesday. These would be 18 - 36
It doesn't work all the time, but it's a start for analyzing PB if you've never done so.
If you really want to analyze PB,
use software such as Expert Lotto.
It's pretty good!
Good Luck!
Believe it or not, there are patterns.
Many patterns that depend on the day of the week (W or S)
or the size of the jackpot or some other factors.
The many patterns that I have identified are the same,
just the numbers change. And timing is critical.
Just from the timing standpoint, it's probably better to use quickpicks than
pick your own numbers. You pretty much know whats coming, you just don't know when!
