Do not buy these Powerball numbers. These are my numbers. I will win the $1.5 billion.
I don't play the Powerball that often, but I'm happy to join in the hype surrounding tonight's $1.5 billion drawing ($930 million cash value, in the vicinity of $500 million after taxes) by sharing my can't lose* methods of choosing your Powerball numbers.
*You will almost certainly lose.
Which is to say my method of choosing numbers is as dumb as any other method of choosing numbers. Well, that's not quite true. It's just slightly better than doing something like picking your parents' or kids' birthdays, because a lot of people do that and there are only 12 months and up to 31 days in a month: so there's a greater chance you're going to share a jackpot with somebody else who did the same thing.
