The Kentucky Powerball boasts a tagline of \”if it\’s powerball, then it\’s never small\” and with a starting jackpot of $20 million and an additional chance to win $1 million, would you think otherwise? The game consists of picking five numbers from one to fifty-nine, and then an additional number from one to thirty-nine. The second number you have to pick is the powerball and it significantly increases your winnings. Winning the jackpot of $20 million requires that the five number combination has a match with the powerball during a single draw. Without the matching powerball, you net around $200,000 which still isn\’t so bad.

This is daunting, after all, 5 numbers from 1-59 are in their own way difficult but add another 1-39 for the jackpot prize and it seems hopeless. Although if you are reading this article, then like most people you still WANT to win that lottery, and don\’t you give up on that dream. The lottery is simply a game of numbers and patience. If you have a system, a plan to accompany it and most important of all patience or persistence then you will be able to experience the joy of turning a game of \”luck\” to a game of skill, with a big check and a lot of money as proof. After all, the lottery is still around because people do win, hundreds of people win and you could be joining that group of people.

It does help to have a plan when going through these games. Figure out when you want to buy, how much you\’ll spend or if you are joining a group that are pooling resources as well as winnings. These may increase your chances by a little but every little bit will help.

Use a lottery system, and I\’m not talking about a plan of play although you should have one of those as well, I\’m talking about a proven lottery system that can afford you bigger chances and lessening those odds to your favor. You can research these systems all over the net, read up on it, check the authenticity of the system and stick to whatever system you\’ve chosen.

Here are some general tips you might want to keep in mind:

Observe and study the winning number combinations, as a general rule, do not reuse a winning number combination as this combination will most likely not be chosen again in your lifetime.

Don\’t forget to play a balanced game. A little mathematics can always help increase those chances. When picking number combinations try to pick numbers that add up to at 106. Most of the number combinations that add to more than 106 will most likely occur.

Remember that the lottery, in this case the Kentucky Powerball with the $200 million jackpot prize is still a game, and similar to any other game, a combination of a strategy and a system will give you the biggest chances of acquiring that jackpot. Dedicate yourself to a system, keep to your strategy and most of all be persistent with the game and who knows you just might be the next lucky winner.
