Update 2-9-2015
As of this posting, the Powerball is up to an estimated: $450 million. Seems like more and more people are playing and wanting some kind of strategy to win.
Here is my input on that: There are 35 bonus balls in the Powerball lottery. One thing you can do, if you want to spend the money doing it, is select the numbers 1-35 (or 35 tickets). Each ticket play each powerball number, that way, you are guaranteed to win something. Now since it costs $2 that would be $70 invested for a guaranteed chance to win something. If you decide to use the Powerplay, you would be spending $3.00 per ticket x 35 = $105 which can multiply your non winning jackpot by 2, 3, 4, or 5 times. Is it worth it? If you have the money to spend, maybe. Without the powerplay you would be guaranteed to win a minimum of $1. With the powerplay you are guaranteed to win a minimum of $2. Now that is the lowest guaranteed winnings you would get. It is a gamble to spend $70 just to win a guaranteed $1 or spend $105 to win a guaranteed $2, but that is the minimum. If the multiplier is higher, you could win more, plus if you hit the bonus plus other numbers, you can win more as well. It is all a gamble. At $450 million I may take that gamble just once, but only if I have the extra cash to do it. Don't go boring money or put yourself in a bind by using your money you have for other things such as groceries, bills, etc. to make this gamble, that would not be worth it. But if you have the extra cash to do it, live a little. Again, it is a gamble and mostly likely, you will lose, but that is the nature of the game.
Good Luck.
