Chaos based math, specifically the theory of strange attractors using past winning numbers and predicting the next winning numbers produces a set of numbers that includes the winning number (no powerball). The larger the set the more likely the winning numbers are in the set. The set for a 90% chance of having the winning number is 200,000. You can increase the percentage of the set including the winning number by watching the trends of the winning numbers to determine when the next drawing's winning number will be in the set.
There are a couple of problems with buying 200,000 lottery tickets.
At $2 per entry would be $400,000 in lottery tickets. If you keep all the stubs you can use them to pay less taxes by deducting the tickets from winnings. If you take the lumps sum payment on $2,000,000 is reduced to around $1,200,000. Subtract taxes and the initial $400,000 you are looking at $320,000.
The other problem with 200,000 tickets is actually filling out and puchasing the 200,000 tickets each with specific different numbers. The maximum days between drawings is 4 days. Spending 10hrs a day that is 40hrs to fill out 200,000 tickets. That's 83.3 tickets per minute. Or the drawing could have only 3 days or 111.1 tickets per minute. I am positive I could not fill out 83 tickets per minute let alone 111.
Isn't math fun?
