Powerball or the Hot ball;
  
  1.  The pattern
  
     a)    if a pattern does exist for the powerball it must be thought
           of in an entirely different prospective...one in a different
           plane of thought.

     b)    graphs are fine and a good starting point.  an x-y graph is
           good...x=the actual drawn powerball and y=the date its drawn
           the end result is a graph of peaks and dips that goes on 
           like that pretty much forever. Not much chance of a 
           repeating pattern.

     c)    modifing the y plane, so it don't go on forever
           a drawn ball that is greater than the preceding ball, heads
           heads toward the (+,+) quadrant of the grid- a ball less
           than the preceding ball, heads toward the (-,-) quadrant.
           so instead of peaks and valleys, you will end up with a line
           that goes back and forth and at a 45 degree angle.

     d)    a perpendicual view of that line (90 degrees) placed on its
           very own plane and on a circular grid.  As in a line from
           1 to 42 viewed on the x-y plane is now a complete circle..
           1 being the bottom, 42 the top viewed from the top.


     e)    where instead of a graph that goes on to infinity...you have
           elipses that go around and around for ever...an arc that 
           goes one direction until the preceding ball (greater or less
           than) changes its direction.

     f)    here a pattern can be found as in a hot ball (a reoccuring
           ball) caught in a circling eddie, that will move on or
           disappear entirely...here the flow of the balls can be
           predicted ..one being greater or less than the preceding
           ball...and it really helps to feel the flow.

     g)    fact: circling eddies do occur but not always on the same
           ball....finding these eddies are a gold mine.  a 10 
           consecutive draw ticket are called for here.


    



Powerball;
  
  1.  The Multi-draws:
    
    a)   Play anywhere from 1 to 10 drawings...use the same numbers to
         play all month

  2.  The Power-play:

    a)   For an dollar more you have a chance to multiply your winnings
         by 5

    b)   There are more X5 balls than any other

  3.  The Betting

     a)  There are 42 Powerballs in Powerball. Any novice player should
         be able to pick at least 1 powerball out of the 42 that should
         be drawn at least once in 10 consecutive drawings.

     b)  The power-play should be played on the one set of numbers and
         10 drawings. Hence a 20 dollar ticket.  To get 1 powerball out
         of 10 drawings w/ X5 is $15.  A $5 loss which is not to bad.

     c)  To play the power-play on any more than 1 set of numbers is
         not a good thing.  Ten sets of numbers for 10 drawings w/
         power-play is $200. Get 10 powerballs out of 10 drawings w/
         X5 is $150. A $50 loss is pretty bad.

     d)  Good for a couple of hundred but what about bigger winnings.
         The bigger winnings are there with the added balls to the 
         powerball, which you should get easily, Its 1 set for 10 
         drawings not 10 sets for 100 drawings, but it could be or 
         should be.
