There was a LARGE group that did the en mass ticket purchase thing, and won splitting the winnings. Each person in the group bought a very large number of specific numbers at a different locations.
There have also been at least 6 winners that claim they picked their numbers using math.
Besides you don't have to actually purchase tickets to see if picking certain numbers win. Just keep track and check after the results are out. I'm sure that's what the large group did before getting investors and sending out ticket buyers.
The problem with the en mass ticket purchase thing is that 1 in 10 times Chaos jumps to another strange attractor. That means there is a 1 in 10 chance that the numbers would jump and miss the 78,125 combinations.
Typically someone with $78125 available is not going to bet the lottery with it. AND AGAIN, you would have to be able to PURCHASE A TICKET EVERY 2 SECONDS FOR 4 DAYS! ANd you are not going for the BIG grand prize because the power ball does not fall within the 1 in 7. You would only win the prize for 5 balls and no power ball. To get the grand prize you would have to buy 60 more tickets for each of the 78000 tickets or 4,687,500 tickets, 2000 TICKETS A MINUTE FOR 4 DAYS!
