I rarely buy Powerball tickets, but when I do, it’s usually a game of testing chance. Because I’ve been incredibly good at manifesting my desires, nothing in life — to me — is unattainable. So imagine my surprise when I checked a Powerball ticket I purchased on February 17, 2010:  It matched 4 out of 6 numbers from the January 27, 2010 drawing:

My ticket  (pictured below): 06 17 20 26 31 PB: 11
January 17 drawing: 06 15 20 26 31 PB: 09

What are the odds of matching so closely a drawing three weeks earlier? No, this doesn’t mean I’ll become a regular player, but I think it’s interesting. Quick picks aren’t a bad choice if you’re a regular player.
