Is that less than what the odds dictate you should win? Powerball is too big for me to even consider playing with any seriousness. If you would like to try a thousand powerball lines (you pick PB) o... [ More ]

Various ranges and number positions. I was being sarcastic saying the results were not worth looking at. I actually thought they weren't that bad. Maybe they are.

RJOh, I generated the 1000 with a program I wrote in 1998. It's definintely not random. This is the first I've done with it in six years. I think I can get over 50% winback. No there is no wheel type guarantee because this isn't what one would normally call a wheel.

What strategy were you using to pick your 1000 lines? If it was QPs your results shouldn't be a surprise because many communities sell more than 1000 tickets every day and no one in any of those communities win a jackpot. A 1000 lines strategy should have some guarantee of a win if the 5 numbers are in a selected group of numbers. Playing 1000 lines randomly will only return what you can expect using the odds posted by the lottery.RJOh
