3) In the event that you choose numbers of significant dates, it may be time to leave it behind to have a better chance of winning the prize, since these limit the range of choosing a number only between 1 and 31, which would leave out some who have been drawn more frequently

While these triplets have come out on 4 occasions: 7/15/36, 12/20/21 and 1/3/13.
Regarding this item, Lottery Universe explains that the best thing you can do is choose 2 even numbers and 3 odd numbers or vice versa. Those work nearly 33% of the time, while all odd or even numbers are only called 2.6% of the time or less, according to the lottery website.
5) Another tip is not to bet on the Powerball for a quick selection of numbers, since a Lottery expert indicated in an interview for Forbes that a different set is always generated with each quick selection, which reduces your chances in each one.
6) And last and most important, listen to your instincts. If you already have a clear idea of what numbers you are going to play with, choose them, only if you try to buy a couple of tickets to distribute all the different options in different tickets.
