Got close again tonight. Am hoping that this is an omem for a good hit soon. But I suppose you could play this game rest of your life, and get close. I do enjoy playing it though.
I have cut back on the amount recently, so went with a 12 dollar ticket tonight.
I did feel a " high " pattern tonight , so I went " high " with my first 7 tickets. The other 4 were differant patterns. The last ticket was a QP.
I covered the back end of my high pattern. But as I have cut back on the amount I play each week, I didnt cover the front end of it. My Mistake. ( Of all times to cut back on the amount played ). But it is the quality of the tickets that really matter.
Also the double 20's threw me off. I figured they wouldnt hit again 3 times in a roll. I figured only one 20's number would hit. Once again, always expect the unexpected in the game Of Powerball. Because I knew number 20 had been slightly Hot recently , and also noticed recently that it was trying to get that way again it seemed. So , I started to go with it , but went with number 21 instead. Isn't that the way it always goes it seems. If I had'nt reduced the amount I played recently , I would have most likely covered the same front end of my pattern with number 20 also , as I usually do this, when I cant make my mind up between two numbers.
Winning number was 20.....24......37......48........53 PB 11
My number was 21......37.....40.......48........53 PB 33
Had 3 of them and missed the 4th. number by one ( missed 100.00 )
Won 7.00 so thats always nice. ( Would be nice if this game payed more for 3 )
Only lost 5.00 , so that was cheap entertainment for the night.
Studing the numbers and drawings helps you develope a " feel " for the game ( long as you dont drive yourself crazy doing it ). You get a feel for the game after awhile of doing this. You get to where you can many times even predict the pattern that will come up , as I did tonight. And this is no easy feat, as I am sure serious players know.
My lone QP for tonight ???? Not even close.
Best Wishes To All and Good Luck On The Draw.
