Is it worthwhile keeping track of the Powerball results?
Tuesday October 14, 2008
Powerball results will be as random in one draw as they are in the next. This means that the Powerball game odds will not change, so you will gain no real advantage by keeping track of the Powerball results. Many people who play Powerball online think that by choosing the numbers that have not been drawn recently they increase their chances of winning a prize. A little more knowledge about Powerball and about probability reveals that the likelihood of any particular ball coming up starts at 1 in 45 and then proceeds from there until it is a 1 in 41 chance, followed by the Powerball with another 1 in 45 chance for every number. The past will not affect these Powerball game odds.
Essentially, Powerball can really only be played for fun. Ensuring a win in Powerball is incredibly costly, so much so that you would generally end up losing money if you were to do so! Don't get caught up in trying to win every time. Have fun with Powerball and know your limits.
