Heh. It would be funny to see the number of people that would swear up and down that would give you worse odds. 🙂

well, the balls with two digits painted on them are slightly heavier due to the extra paint, so 1-9 are somewhat more likely to float to the top of the air blower thingy and thus have a higher chance of being picked than other balls!

Except that they don't use a "air blower thingy that floats balls to the top" for Powerball. The way they draw numbers seems totally random to me.

I'm pretty sure if I had bought a ticket I would have won. Ah well, I like being poor.

God, I can only imagine the feeling of winning. I'd probably check it 100 times then throw up and pass out. Right after I'd shit my pants. Don't even know how I'd begin to spend that kind of cash.
