Date: 11/21/2001 at 14:03:32 From: G Saenger Subject: Question on your powerball odds calcs I read your analysis on the calculation of the Powerball odds, but I have a real problem with the odds of 1:74 that are calculated for selecting the correct powerball number only.
This means you pick the powerball number correctly but it also means that you don't pick any of the 5 numbers from the non-powerball side correctly.
But you have to realize that the odds of picking only the powerball correctly are in fact lower because in picking only the powerball correctly, you must guarantee that you don't pick any of the non-powerball numbers correctly.
