Multiple of 5 Wins Powerball Jackpot

I've been thinking a lot recently about playing numbers which are all multipliers of a single digit: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 because the subset of combinations is relatively small. Then, like magic, one lucky Powerball player in Wisconsin won a $31.4 jackpot on Wednesday October 14th 2009 by matching the:

Crazy Combo

White Balls: 05 15 25 30 40
and Powerball: 06
 

Looking at the white balls, it is easy to see that each is a multiple of 5! To match the white ball set in the Powerball game, a player must correctly pick 5 of 59 number. There are a total of 5,006,3896 white ball combinations.

But, if a player limits his selections to only those numbers that are divisible by 5, then there are only 11 numbers to pick from, and only 462 combinations. If a player (or office pool) choose this strategy to simply match the white balls, they would be risking $462 to win $200,000 minimum. And, if he played all Powerball numbers, the player could even win the Jackpot!

We're not sure if our recent Powerball winner used this strategy to win the Jackpot, but it's clear that if you play small subsets of numbers, you really can win the Lottery!
