A Record Winning Streak for the Pool - Jackpot Won In Indiana

The pool won $42 tonight. Our sixth straight winning evening - a pool record! With 83 picks submitted we once again got three of the five whiteballs right in one set winning $21 there. Odds of doing that would normally require the purchase of 290 computer pick tickets at a cost of $580. ( Our bill this evening was $166.) Plus we matched the powerball in two other sets - one with a whiteball giving us the rest of our earnings. Combined odds of that are about 1 in 190. So though it wasn't what we'd hoped for we are definitely demonstrating some consistency from drawing to drawing and beating the odds.

Payments and banked balances have been updated to reflect payments for this evenings and the next anticipated drawing. The Powerball website is reporting someone in Indiana got all 6 numbers right so we'll rejoin the drawings when the jackpot reaches $50 million - or close to it - which usually occurs in about 3 weeks assuming the jackpot isn't reset again.
