The Highs and Lows of Power Ball




 Now that my work on a Powerball Power Ticket lottery number generator is almost done I thought it would be a good idea to go over the rules of what makes a strong Power Ball lottery ticket. As the title suggests we will go over how many high numbers and how many low numbers to play. 

Let start first with an assumption that since the power ball is drawn from a different pool that number has no bearing on what we are doing, We are only looking at the 5 numbers that are drawn from a poll of 59. 

With that being said the split between a high number and a low number in this Lottery is 29. We will say that any number equal to or below 29 is low and 30 and above is a high number.  looking at 566 Powerball Lottery draws to increase your odds you want to have 2 high numbers and 3 Lower or 3 High numbers and 2 Lower. in 64.49% of the draw the numbers follow that pattern.

Drawing 0 high numbers happens 3.71% and drawing 5 High numbers happens 3%  of the lottery draws. To increase your chances at winning Power ball lottery you must play a 2 or 3 high number combo don’t waste your time with the other 4 options as combined they are less than the 2-3 combo.

You can review the chart below for the exact details because the balls don’t lie.
