Powerball Tips & Winning Strategies

Want to improve your chances of hitting the jackpot when playing a big game lottery like the Powerball? Try these methods and tips below that may surprise you!

Tip #1: Narrow down your picks

Make a list of all the numbers from the previous 5 draws. Repeating numbers only count once.

Then, use these non-repeating numbers as your focus range for the next period's picks.

In this way, you've turned the white ball portion of the Powerball, where you pick 5 out of 66 numbers, into a little game like picking 5 out of 40 or less numbers.

For example, let's say that the last 5 white-ball drawings, minus the duplicates, had only 40 different numbers. Then you can focus on these 40 numbers to choose 5, the range is much smaller.

According to the statistics of historical lottery data, with this method, you can usually pick 2 or 3 of these numbers correctly.

Tip #2: Focus on Consecutive and Heavy Numbers

It is very common for consecutive numbers (numbers next to each other like 31 and 32) to appear in Powerball draws with a high probability.

If you can capitalize on consecutive numbers, number selection will become more effective.

In addition, the phenomenon of duplicate numbers (a certain number from the previous period appears again in the next period) is also prominent, and there are often 1 to 3 duplicate numbers.

Based on this feature, when you are picking numbers, you can pick 1 to 3 numbers from the winning numbers of the previous period that you think may appear again.

And then with other numbers you choose, form a bet.

For example, if “10 and 25” were drawn in the previous period, and ‘25’ appeared in the next period, and “25” also appeared in the next period, you can pick 1 or 3 numbers from the previous period. In the next period, the numbers “25 and 26” also appear in the next period.

So, pay more attention to the consecutive numbers and heavy numbers, can help you improve the hit rate of the selection of numbers.

The third trick: cold numbers essential

Look carefully at the Powerball number chart, you will find that some of the numbers do not appear for a long time, may be more than a dozen periods of interval, or even more than two dozen periods to open once.

For example, the white ball number “42” may have been silent for 25 periods before appearing in a certain period. Or the number “19” may not appear again until 28 periods after it appeared in a certain period last year.

However, these Cold Numbers are very powerful! They are often the key to catching the Powerball jackpot!

Once you've managed to catch a cold number, you're very close to winning the jackpot!
