Just Jack Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 The numbers drawn Wednesday night were: 05, 25, 30, 58, 59 and Powerball 32. I had one number. Here's what I think, if there's a winner... it'll be ages they picked 58, 59 - older married couple 30, 25 - a child and their spouse 5 - grandchild 32 - maybe another child, or just random Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 If I won and netted out $200 mil I'd earn about $1,800,000 a year on the fee I'd charge myself to manage it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 i have been building and looking at a spreadsheet just to see what kind of information i can get...i found that the most common, based on frequency of numbers coming up, set of numbers is 16 20 26 32 41 20(PB) yet that combination has never come up. From what I can tell, since 11/1/97 there doesn't appear to be the same combination of numbers drawn more than once. last nights winning numbers have the following: 5 - has an average frequency rank of 18.8 25 - has an average frequency rank of 37 30 - has an average frequency rank of 21.4 58 - has an average frequency rank of 56.8 59 - has an average frequency rank of 56.6 32 - is the 24th most popular PB number I am sure i am missing something in my data, but I am having fun playing with the numbers to see if there is any pattern or prediction the number of times the Power Ball matched the White Ball? WB1 = PB - 22(1.34%) WB2 = PB - 31(1.88%) WB3 = PB - 34(2.07%) WB4 = PB - 40(2.43%) WB5 = PB - 32(1.95%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Interesting. Somebody @ my work was saying how numbers above 30 have better odds of coming in... They don't..... 59 total numbers (balls) 1 in 59 chance of any particular number coming up first, 1.69% For that number to be 1 through 30 - 50.84% For that number to be 31 through 59 - 49.15% It may just seem that way to your cow-orker.
