Pool Wins $48, Plans Saturday Participation

We won $48 Wednesday night with the spreadsheet successfully picking out of its top 10 choices for the powerball. During the random mix of those 10 out of 42 numbers the correct powerball came up in 5 times and one time matched with a whiteball giving us $12 on that line of numbers. The rest were $9 straight powerball wins - normally $3 - but tripled with the 3x powerplay purchase.

The jackpot rises to $178 million and because of this lofty number - we're planning a Saturday participation. I've revamped how the spreadsheet picks the whiteballs for that drawing so it will be interesting to see how well it performs. Out of 360 number sets generated only 9 passed all the tests I run on each set - so that tells me it's being much more selective in what number sets it chooses. We'll see if that gives us better results with whiteball picks.
