Powerball Tips

So you like playing Powerball and why not! It's a great game, very exhilarating and lots of fun.

Simplychoose seven numbers out of 1 to 35,and an eighth number between 1 and 20 for your Powerball drawn separately. Having said that, winning Powerball isn't easy of course. Your odds of selecting seven correctly drawn numbers and then the one correct Powerball number together in the same game is 134,490,400 to 1 when playing a standard game. So, to improve your odds of winning and increase your overall enjoyment of the game, here are a fewPowerball tips to help you learn more about Powerball:

Tip #1: Choose A Mix Of High And Low Numbers

A winning entry combination of all high numbers or all low numbers is a very uncommon occurrence and in fact only happens less than 3% of all draws. An ideal combination would be to select three or four high numbers (eg: 20-35) and three or four low numbers (eg:1-20), as combinations like this are drawn way more often in almost 50% of cases.

Tip #2: Use A Powerball Number That Has Won Previously

Try selecting a Powerball number that has won previously. Why? Quite often a Powerball number that has been successful in a previous draw over the last 6-8 weeks will be selected again sometime in the next 6-8 draws.

Tip #3: Avoid Picking One Number Group

Don't select all numbers in one group (i.e. all the 20s, 30s or even single digits). The odds of those numbers winning are way less than an even spread of numbers between 1 and 35.

Tip #4: Don't Base Picks On Dates

Many players of Powerball and Lotto generally are said to use anniversaries and birth dates for their numbers. As a result, numbers 1 to 31 are used heavily as they can correspond to days of the month. This can often result in more than one winner, that is if they win at all. Since winning numbers are usually a mix of both high and low numbers, using calendar dates only can lower your chances of winning. If you are going to use dates, make sure you include at least one or two high numbers between 31 and 35 to evenly distribute your selections and improve your chances of winning.

Tip #5: Odds & Evens

Avoid selecting all odd or all even numbers as this combination also has very remote chance of winning a major prize.

Tip #6: Try Getting Help

If you're serious about your Powerball games, there are a number of computer software options that can be used to help in selecting your entry numbers. This type of software can help you keep track of previous winning numbers. And you can also analyse the chances of your numbers winning, but be prepared to outlay a few dollars for products of this type.

Tip #7: Play The Probabilities

Remember, any choice that provides the best chance of winning occurs more often than the choice with the worst chances. This is why you need to play the probabilities. Whilst each number has an equal chance of getting picked, you can improve your odds if you examine and use the numbers that win more frequently.
