Tips on How to Win the Powerball in NJ

It's easy to participate in a Powerball draw when you order your tickets online, but winning Powerball is difficult, no matter how you often play the game. Admittedly the odds may seem insurmountable but someone eventually wins the jackpot, so why shouldn’t it be you? Better yet, there have been New Jersey lottery winners! Hopefully the following tips will give you an edge and help you win the Powerball jackpot!

Be in the Draw

Never miss a draw. If you are an occasional lottery player, or if you would only consider buying tickets when jackpots are huge, your chances of winning won’t be all that great. There are three Powerball draws a week – on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. If you really want a chance at winning the jackpot, consider playing them all. Play regularly, but responsibly, by setting aside a small budget for lottery tickets. Order tickets for your favorite draw games online if leaving the house is the issue! 

More tickets. It’s quite obvious that the more you play, the better chance you’ll have of winning. Buying 25 lines gives you five times better chances of winning than a purchase of five lines. The odds of winning Powerball’s jackpot are 1:292,201,338. While you wouldn’t think of buying 292 million unique lines to guarantee a win, the more tickets you purchase, the greater your chances of winning. But, don't purchase more tickets than you can afford!

Number Selection

Pick good numbers. This is subjective advice but here is a clue as to how this tip could work for you. Many people select their lottery numbers based on family birthdays and anniversaries. Therefore, if you include numbers between 32 and 69 on your tickets, your lines have a better chance of being unique. There is no surefire method for getting the numbers right but if you pick unpopular numbers, you might not have to share the Powerball jackpot when you win.

Let the computer choose your numbers. If you don’t have time to fill out your Powerball tickets, or if you are tired of playing favorite numbers that don’t win any prizes, let the computer do the work for you. Our Quick Pick feature will fill your tickets randomly, and very quickly. Surprisingly, many jackpot winners have won their prizes with the help of a computer-generated number selection.

Trust your gut. These tips may help you hone your lottery skills but sometimes you have to forget everything you’ve learned and act on your impulses instead. If your gut feeling is to let a computer pick your numbers randomly, go for it. But if you have a sudden, unexplainable urge to select certain numbers, act accordingly. Perhaps you are getting subliminal messages telling you what numbers to play.

A Little Luck

Get lucky. You may follow all of this advice but if you don’t have Lady Luck on your side you’ll never win the jackpot. The first step to winning Powerball is to order Powerball tickets. Good luck!
