Winning Powerball - Dramatically Improving Your Powerball Odds
By Terry Fisher, CEO, www.power-ball-pro.com and a Double Million-Dollar Lottery Winner.
Uncovered: The Powerball Secret that convinced us to seriously change the way we play Powerball.
In this article, we share how the truth about Lottery Odds convinced us to change the way we play. Dramatically. It will almost certainly convince you to do the same. To illustrate why, we use the USA Power Ball as an example, but you will soon see the arguments apply to any Lottery game, 5-ball or 6-ball.
The odds of getting the first 5 numbers in the 53-number USA Powerball are 1-in-2,869,685 and the odds of getting the Power Ball WITH the first 5 numbers are 1-in-120,526,770. That's the Truth but not the WHOLE Truth!
If First Prize is $10 Million, the odds are 1-in-120,526,770. But if First Prize is $100 Million, the odds are STILL 1-in-120,526,770 - except now the reward is 10 times greater. So, are Odds the perfect measure? We think not. Does it matter ? We think so.
You may already understand that 1-in-120,526,770 relates to buying ONE game. If you buy 10 games, your odds of winning First Prize are now 1-in-12,052,677. If you buy 100 games, your odds of winning First Prize fall to 1-in-1,205,268. By using the information in the two paragraphs above, you can make a giant leap in your Powerball Playing Strategy.
For example, suppose you budget $20 a week as your lotto money. To keep it simple, we will assume your lottery starts at $10 Million and increases every week by $5 Million. It goes for 10 weeks without being won. If you are like 99% of lotto players, this represents your playing strategy (or lack of it!).

TOTAL INVESTMENT: $200
If you change your playing strategy to matching your investment to the size of the First Prize (and anyone with a Maths Degree can do the six decimal places stuff!) your Odds with the new strategy might look like this ..
Odds for $1 You Play Your Odds First Prize
120,526,770 $5 24,105,354 $10 Million
120,526,770 $5 24,105,354 $15 Million
120,526,770 $5 24,105,354 $20 Million
120,526,770 $10 12,052,677 $25 Million
120,526,770 $10 12,052,677 $30 Million
120,526,770 $15 8,035,118 $35 Million
120,526,770 $15 8,035,118 $40 Million
120,526,770 $25 4,821,071 $45 Million
120,526,770 $50 2,410,535 $50 Million
120,526,770 $60 2,008,780 $55 Million
TOTAL $200
You can see your Total Investment over ten weeks is still $200 - but the odds have varied dramatically from week-to-week. Under the old system, the odds were 1-in-6,026,338 every week. Under the new system, the odds are much higher while the prize is peanuts - but much lower as First Prize climbs. On the 10th week, your odds are THREE times better at 1-in-2,008,780 than they were when playing $20 every week.
ANOTHER MYTH
"If You Play a System Entry You Increase Your Chances of Winning" Another Truth ...But again, not the WHOLE Truth.
If you are playing a System 10, you pay for 252 games. Naturally you are increasing your chances of winning by 252 times (over a single game). But the advantage is from playing 252 games - regardless of how you play those games.
1. By playing 252 random games, or Auto-Pick games, your odds of winning are 1-in-478,281 (120,526,770 divided by 252). 2. By playing the 252 games in a System 10, your odds of winning are still 1-in-478,281 (120,526,770 divided by 252). 3. By playing 252 games in an organized systematical way, your odds of winning are still 1-in-478,281 (120,526,770 divided by 252).
However, there are tactical advantages & disadvantages to consider before making those three choices. The first point is, Random or Auto-Pick entries have no guarantee whatsoever, other than a 1-in-478,281 chance of winning.
The biggest advantage of playing a System Entry is that it maximizes the number of prizes you win. But, whether you play a System 8 or a System 20 there is only ONE First Division in there. All of the additional Prizes are in the lower divisions. And it is still a CONDITIONAL guarantee - you only win IF you trap the winning numbers, but you could end up without a single winning number.
