How to improve your Powerball odds by millions.



One factor to consider in picking your Powerball
lottery numbers is the ratio between
the odd / even lotto numbers.


Looking at the past history of all lottery games
there appears a pattern that shows you would be better off
by not playing all odd or all even numbers.

Example of playing all even numbers   2.4.6.20.40
example of playing all odd balls  3.11.21.35.47

     Odd/even combo analysis
*********************************************
  play mix           hits
5 odd 0 even    5  as a percentage    1.85 %
4 odd 1 even   50  as a percentage   18.45 %
3 odd 2 even   91  as a percentage   33.58 %
2 odd 3 even   80  as a percentage   29.52 %
1 odd 4 even   41  as a percentage   15.13 %
0 odd 5 even    4  as a percentage    1.48 %
********************************************

Looking at the table above, you may improve your odds
by playing either 3 odd /2 even or 2 odd / 3 even.
These rations  accounted for almost 2/3 of all past
winners.

33.58 + 29.52 = 63.1%

Or almost 2/3 of past winning number sets follow this rule.
