No Guts, No Glory

After Saturday's no-jackpot-won drawing, for a test of the spreadsheet predictive abilities on the powerball I put in Wednesday's powerball, pushed the button on the lottery spreadsheet and once again, the powerball number that was drawn was in the top 10 the spreadsheet would predicted would occur. This is the third time in the past couple of weeks I've performed such an exercise, the last one being last Wednesday's draw where we pulled in $69 - our fourth best win in our history.

With these recent successes I've decided to choose 10 powerball numbers out of the pool of 42 to throw into the mix. It's a risky endeavor, but also has the potential for great rewards since the chances are a duplicate, winning powerballs would get chosen by the spreadsheet is greater than say if the pool I was pulling from was 21 numbers - typically the quantity I've used in the past. So with this method what I'm hoping will happen is that we will pull in more $69 (or greater) nights. The alternate scenario is that we'll win nothing. But, as the title of this post suggests? "No guts, no glory." Keep your fingers crossed for Wednesday's drawing! We'll have a nice number of tickets since we got over $100 in our earnings balance to draw from. Thanks. John
