Off subject a bit, but it is about Powerball.

Their new website is up and running. Had called them about 4-5 months ago and asked where the total winners page went and said they were working on an updated version. They did put it in

I use the same strategy and have been for years and so do many others. I do 5 tickets of same numbers but different megaball/poweball with the megaplier/powerplay at $15 a play. The biggest I got back was I think $200 a few years ago. I don't play like that all the time as it is too expensive but one day I'm hoping to match all five for second prize or even third.

I wish the article would have answered what would seem to be fundamental questions. 1) Were his two winning tickets identical numbers? 2) If they were different numbers, what was the overlap of the four winning numbers (i.e. how close was he to getting all five numbers on his ten purchased tickets but especially the two winning tickets

I would suspect that picking all even or all odd numbers are very specific lottery strategies.

This guy went against all lottery strategies by picking all even numbers. The winning numbers were 10-16-18-40-66-16, which are ALL even numbers. Congratulations to him

This guy was thinking ahead, covering all bases. If you don't win the 1st or 2nd place prize. Just double up on the 3rd place prize and go home $300,000 richer. Great job, Mr. Baker.
