How do you play Powerball?

Where can I find a book or a site for an EASY explaination on how to play Keno, Powerball, etc.?

• Anytime I read the back of one of those cards or papers, it seems so complicated. I'm sure I seem like a dummy to all the people who whiz right through it, but if a person has never played it before how are they to know? So, is there some kind of "Gambling for Dummies" out there? Lol! That would be great actually : ) I want to know the ins and out of Keno and how I should pick the numbers on Powerball and Megabucks. I'm assuming on some there are certain things you should know before you play and I sure do want to know before I do. Please help. Oh and I do already know about Video Poker and Casino Gambling such as Roulette or Blackjack. Thanks so much for your time!

• Answer:

  Powerball is simple enough. Pick your numbers and there you go. There is no advantage of any kind using any "method" You can strategize a little in Keno. However, it's such a horrendous bet most of the time, especially in state lottery versions, that you may as well find another game. If you really want to play Keno - play it in Nevada. ou still give up a 10-30% house advantage, but it's not the 40-55% you can expect to give up with ALL the state lottery games.
