Powerball jackpot grows to estimated $643 million after no one won Monday night's drawing
Whether you're superstitious, *** little stitious, or not stitious at all, you can't deny that there is power in numbers, especially the big ones that have *** bunch of zeros following them. Millions of Americans play the lottery every year, and many of them, even though they haven't won, will tell you that they rely on lucky repeating numbers. But is there such *** thing? According to The Grunge, one study says that online gambling experts determined that 39 comes up most often across Powerball, Mega Millions, and other lottery games. Another study says the same, but about the number 22 being as common while playing mega ball. And *** third study says that you should put your money on the numbers 94, 18, and 4. The Sun reports. Although analyzing historical data of lottery numbers can reveal interesting trends, it's important to remember that lottery drawings are completely random. Each number has the same probability of being drawn in every individual draw, and the recurrence of hot or cold numbers carries no weight in future outcomes. Turns out Chances of striking *** winning combination is 1 in several 100 million. You're actually statistically more likely to die by shark attack or bicycle accident than you ever are to win the lottery, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't partake. It is fun after all, and who knows? You were wearing your lucky underwear when you bought your ticket, so.
