Suggested Powerball numbers for New Years Day 2014 without Guarantees.

As always .  We thought we noticed something in the Powerball drawing of Dec. 28, 2013.  Based on that we have developed a new hypothesis on picking suggested numbers for the drawings.

The code name for this hypothesis is .  No, the numbers are not selected like cards in the game.  It is based on the translation of canasta to the English "basket".  The numbers are pulled from drawings over a selected time period and subjected to a number of simple mathematical treatments.  The results go into the "basket".

For the New Year's Day drawing two runs of potential numbers are suggested for play for entertainment purposes only.

These are:

9 - 22 - 33 - 42 - 56

which is quite linear as you may have noticed.

The polynomial numbers are:

27 - 32 - 44 - 52 -53

which seems skewed but seems to "fit the general curve".

The suggested power numbers for both are either 22 or 23.

Your decision.  As always .

Good luck.

MegaPowerBall?

MegaPowerBall? http://bit.ly/49czkM Soon (for example, in Michigan) you'll be able to purchase a PowerBall on-line game ticket with your MegaMillions on-line game ticket. So, you think you'll double your chances of winning a jackpot? Hmmm, we're not exactly math wizards - but if you combine the odds of winning the PB jackpot (about 195,249,054.00 to 1) and the odds of a MB jackpot (about 175 711 536 to 1) - excluding the Texas Megaplier and PowerPlay options - your odds increase to about 1.71537556 × 10E16 to 1. Or, if you prefer, about 17 Quadrillion to 1. (Here's some perspective, there are fewer galaxies in the universe than a quadrillion). Still feel lucky? Well, do ya' punk?
