We all want to know winning tips and tricks for various lotteries whether online or offline. Lottery material can be found in books and online tutorials, but sometimes a little visualization helps more than any strategy.
I found a nice video on how to play the Powerball game and I think that you will enjoy it too:
If you happen to visit Las Vegas this week, you should know that Vegas online bookmakers suggest a nice alternative to the Powerball lottery – placing bets on whether the last Powerball number is odd or even. Both options cost exactly the same, but the alternative is certainly refreshing.
The Westbury family that won a £7.7m on the National Lottery was not aware of their luck until the supermarket worker told them. The ticket winning numbers were 15, 28, 32, 43, 44 and 45. I am guessing that no member of Westbury family will have to work any time soon. Matching six numbers is not an easy thing to do, especially in the Powerball lottery, but if you manage to succeed in this task, your efforts will be rewarded accordingly.
Mr. Westbury runs a lightning protection business and since he loves his job very much, he plans to keep running it for three or four days a week. Gongrads on the winning!
Former US president Bill Clinton found an unusual solution to pay off Hillary Clinton’s campaign debts of $771,000 – he has nominated himself for the lottery prize. An online donation of $5 will give any individual a chance to spend the day with Bill Clinton in New York. The e-mail was distributed among millions, so everyone have a fair chance of winning it, just like in real Power ball lottery.
Chris Shaw became the lucky lottery powerball jackpot winner shortly after he bought his $5 ticket at the Break Time convenience store where he works in Marshall, Missouri. The funny thing is that he had less than $30 in his bank account.
Shaw described what it felt like when he realized he was the winner: “At first you just hope you’re not going to die of a heart attack, you are trying to understand what has just happened.”
When he checked the numbers he merely believed that it was true so he called his girlfriend to tell her about his winning, but she also thought that it was a big joke at first. The lucky winner said that he will probably buy his girlfriend a car, take the kids to Disney World (Chris has three kids by two women and two other kids from his current girlfriend ) and pay dentist a visit since his front teeth are missing.
The check was delivered to Shaw at the ceremonial Missouri Lottery headquarters in Jefferson city. Now Chris has to decide whether to take the lump sum of $125 million or go for annual installments over the next 30 years.
The Powerball game has a shared jackpot and is drawn bi-weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The purpose of the game is to guess five numbers in the range of 1 to n-59 in any order and one additional number in the range of 1 to n-39 exactly. The odds are not in your favor because the probability of winning is 35 to 1, but here are some Powerball winning tips that can help:
Try to pick numbers that have not played recently. Chances are that no lottery results from the previous week will come up again.
Play only with the budget that you can afford to lose because the odds are not in your favor.
Avoid picking the same number twice including the Powerball number.
Improve your winning chances by including three odd and three even lottery numbers. This way you will have a more balanced game.
Don’t choose numbers that share the same last digits, for example: 3-23-43-53-33. Such string of numbers decreases your chances significantly.
Don’t rely upon a machine; pick your own winning numbers. All five numbers picked by the machine is a very poor choice of numbers.
And of course the last one would be to place your lottery ticket in a safe place until you find out the results. There are plenty of cases where people misplaced their lottery tickets and don’t have the opportunity to claim their winnings.
Now, you can come up with better odds of winning these sizeable lottery games with the systems I use and suggest, but the fact is the top way to better your odds of winning overall is by playing the lowest ball and number combination games.
I’ll explain a little more…
Even though I use and recommend lotto systems for Powerball and MegaMillions, it’s still correct that low numbers of balls and low numbers give better odds. For example, most states and countries have 5 ball, 39 number games. And, the good news is that you can use the same lotto systems I enjoy for the 6 and 7 ball games for these 5 ball games. The best news is that these 5 ball games have much better odds of winning the highest jackpot prize of up to $500,000. It’s the difference between 1 in 13.5 million in the 6 & 7 ball games versus merely 1 in 142,506 for the 5 ball games. That’s a gigantic difference and it’s also why you will usually see players winning the 5 ball games almost every single day.
