How do you play Powerball?

55 possible powerball numbers, play a different # each time for 55 times.Chance of hitting the powerball once?

  • I say the odds are that you will hit the powerball once. with 55 different numbers available and you playing a different one each time, (and this would not be on the same day but on 55 different days) I know in reality u may or may not but am I right or not about once being the average times you would get the powerball right?

  • Answer:

    Play the same number 55 times and see what that does for you. The same thing as going the other route.

You think you can win the powerball once by playing a single number on 55 days, or are you talking about matching a single ball in the drawing called the powerball? If you are talking about matching a single ball it would take you an average of 55 tries. Interestingly, the odds are the same whether or not you choose different numbers every time. The powerball does not know its own history.

In that case on average you will hit the powerball once every 55 tries. Not to say that is what will happen but that will be the average total.
