Question

Picking Lottery numbers? Is there a probability equation out there that can cut down the odds?

Answer 1

Assuming that the Lottery is not rigged, there is not an equation that gives you better odds. Remember the expression: If it's too good to be true, then it probably isn't.



All the programs on the web are just random number generators, some more "random" then others. They only make choosing numbers easier but do not give you a leg up on the competition whatever anyone may say.

Answer 2

The Powerball site tells you what numbers have come up. Some of the possible Powerballs have still not been drawn. I am betting on those numbers coming up soon.

Answer 3

Nope just luck. The best thing to do is when somthing monumental happens to you look at the numbers around you then play them.

Answer 4

Nope - all numbers occur with equal probability.
