Fourth Straight Win!

No, we can't quit our jobs yet, but the pool strutted its winning ways once again with three successful pick sets that odds say had a combined chance of one in about 450 chance of occurring! Not bad considering we had a total of 60 picks this evening. We won $28 total and once again, would have scored significantly more had the multiplier not been a wimpy 2x. Those wins came across three diverse pick sets. One powerball with one white ball, one powerball alone and then three white ball numbers picked correctly together. (Odds of doing that alone are 1 in 290! )

So clearly the spreadsheet is doing a particularly good job of picking numbers and with each successful drawing - allowing us a greater pool of number pick sets - which, in turn increases our odds of getting a correct number set right, earning us more money for the next draw and more pick sets. You get the picture. (I hope!) In the event that we have a weird drawing where the spreadsheet totally misses (and we know those days happen) I'm not blowing all our extra dough on one drawing - giving us another chance to win with a more "predictable" set of numbers.

Banked balances and payments have been adjusted to reflect the next anticipated drawing date on the 22nd of August. If nobody wins the jackpot this evening or Saturday? The jackpot should be well over $200 million! Cross your fingers! John

P.S. I appreciate the vote of confidence in my accounting abilities by your participation in the present drawing. I also received no "Boy...aren't you a math screw up!" comments as a result of the hiccup with the banked totals I described in an earlier post. Thanks.
