As Expected, Powerball Draws All Even White Balls

In an earlier post written on Monday, March 8th, 2010, titled All Even White Powerball Numbers Are Overdue, we indicated that the likihood of all Even White Powerball numbers being drawn was overdue. This prediction was based on the mathematical probability that this type of combination should occur approximately 1.23 times every six months.

In slightly more than 4 weeks after we wrote this, the winning Powerball numbers on Wednesday April 07th were:  04 36 40 44 52 Powerball 33 and Powerplay 2x.

Yes indeed, all even white numbers were drawn. Slightly more remarkable, each of the numbers are also divisible by 4.

While we could not have known exactly when this event would occur, we were confident that the Powerball Lottery drawings truly do follow the laws of probability.

Had players followed this advice and limited their combinations, they would have increased their probability of winning a $150 million jackpot prize after only 9 subsequent drawings.

All Even White Powerball Numbers Are Overdue

Reviewing our Poweball Even / Odd Analysis page, we observe that the chance of all Even white numbers being drawn is now overdue. As of this date, five white ball combinations have not been drawn during the past 6 months.  Based on probabilities, we would expect to see 1.23 occurrences during this period.

Thus, we conclude that this patten of numbers is now overdue and is a viable playing strategy offering a realistic chance of winning within the next few drawings.

With Wednesday's drawing at $170 million, we believe that our members should include at least one set of all even numbers in their playing portfolio of tickets.
