    Powerball strategy: lets work together

    Okay, chances that youll be winning the powerball is close to none. However, the chance to win choosing the powerball number is 1/26. Which if we can find some statistical data, that can help us find an edge to choose the right number in this upcoming power-ball, we can make some serious change or at least have a shot at hitting a winner with the other random 5 numbers.


    So statistics that I would like to know but couldn't find is.

    Which number has not or has shown up the least within the last 200 drawings
    which number has shown up the most in the last 200 drawings.


    lets discuss?

    very true, but if you don't play. You would have no chance. not even 0.0000000001 percent chance coach. Most of us here are action junkies lol.

    no matter the above, each number has a 1/26 chance of being drawn next.

    basic stats

    If I flip a coin 9 times and get 9 straight Heads

    what are the chances I flip a tails on the 10th flip?

    high correlation with poor, stupid, selfish people from trashy backgrounds playing the lottery

    thus they win more often

    lottery is an idiot tax on the poor

    We all say we will become a philanthropist if we win the lottery. However, Most human being are selfish individual. Its just human nature. I think alot of the winners end up OD, or going bankrupt. Do you think rich people who sets up these foundation do it for the goodness of their hearts. Well they do it so they could write off and get tax breaks. Whatever makes them sleep better at night. Like i said most. not all though.
