Odds of winnings changed from
1:175,223,510 into 1:292,201,338
Despite, just a couple of weeks later after that change. There was jackpot winner. Hence, we know that this is possible to win this jackpot. That is the beauty of Powerball. It takes just one ticket to win. Also, we never know if we are going to have a winner or the main prize just climb up to see bigger prize.”
Reporter asks:
“Could you please give as some advice, how to select those lucky numbers.”

But one certain advice is: If you do not play you do not win”
