Lottery Tips - Powerball - What Are the Odds
Once in a while, a lottery may change it’s format. For instance, PowerBall started out the new year by making a change. Powerball used to be a 5 out of 55 drawing with a bonus number (Powerball) drawn. As of Saturday, January 7, 2009, the Powerball drawing will be a 5 out of 59 drawing with the Powerball being a 1 out of 39 drawing. Two drawings are held each week on Wednesday and Saturday.
The odds of winning, of getting all 5 winning numbers is 1 in 5,006,386. To win the jackpot you will also need the Powerball. The odds of that are 1 in 39. Therefore, the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 39×5,006,386 or 1 in 195,249,054! Whew! With odds like that everyone could use some help. Seriously. You can Improve Your Chances of Winning the Lottery jackpot by using LONA™, the Lottery Number Advisor, and playing smart.
So, good luck to everyone playing the Powerball lottery. I hope YOU Win the Big One.
