South African Powerball Results Analysis/2013-01-22

The Power Ball Result for today: 22 January 2013 are as follows:

3  10  11  28  31 Bonus 16

Today's powerball had numbers that were typical for most people as the highest number was 31. Most people choose their numbers based on their birthdays and anniversaries. So this was a really typical numbers.

Now let us analyse the numbers:

3 appears for the 3rd time since July last year
10 appeared for the 4th time since July last year
11 appeared for the 9 th time
28 appeared for the 4 th time
31 appeared for the 2nd time

The bonus 16 appeared for the 7th time

From the numbers above you can see that most of the numbers are the less frequently showing numbers, it is important that we note the cycles so we can better predict the numbers to play for the next draw.

The bonus was expected because since July 2012 it has showed up 7 times before, the rule of the more frequent to play is the frequent to be drawn .

I look forward to hear from you Team SA Lotto till Thursday with the prediction of numbers for the South African (SA) Powerball Draw

How to choose numbers for South African Lotto

The most common ways people choose the lotto numbers is by combining their birthdays, anniversaries or any other special dates. As much as this is the sentimental thing to do, if you are hoping to win the South African lotto, DO NOT do it. Why? The reason is that in the lotto there are 49 balls to choose from and if you stick to dates only you will stop at number 31 there by missing out on 18 more numbers to choose from.

Beside even if the jackpot came out from those 31 numbers, you will be sharing the the jackpot with many other people because that is how most people choose their numbers. Instead of winning your millions, it will be divided amongst the winners thereby receiving much less than what you would if you have chosen unusual numbers.

So you asking yourself, how do you choose your numbers? As Gail Howard of Smartluck website say, follow this simple law:

That which is MOST POSSIBLE happens MOST OFTEN.
That which is LEAST POSSIBLE happens LEAST OFTEN.

What does this mean? The numbers that appear most of the time will continue to appear more and the numbers that appear less frequently in the draw will continue to not showing up often. With that being you need to look at the statistics and choose the numbers that often appear in the South African draws and you increase our chances of winning.

If there is one important advice I can give you today is that look at the statistics page and choose the numbers that often show up.

Opportunity

In South Africa we have many opportunities each week to take a chance and play lotto or as we affectionately say 'tata machance. Two times a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays it is lotto and you can have the chance to play a lotto plus so essentially you have two chances to win with the same numbers. 

Then we have the lotto plus which is on Tuesdays and Fridays and the jackpot here is quite high compared to the normal lotto. So if you are looking at making an easy buck why not try the lotto. The fact that these are just random numbers does not mean that it easy to play. 

If you do not have a strategy you will keep on losing your hard earned money. It is important to play the game with a bit of insight because this increases your odds of winning. With the recent studies it has been shown that if you choose to use the quick pick, you diminish your chances of winning.

To stand a chance of winning then you need to start carefully looking at the numbers to play and really give it some carefull thoughts. luckily for you, you do not have to be thinking that hard because we are doing the hard work for you that is the statistics and the hot and cold numbers. It will be up to you to choose what or how you want to play your numbers. 

Before you play have a look at our statistics and start choosing yor number from there. Please feel free to share with us if you do happen to win the numbers.
