higher... if someone wins tomorrow night... they'll take home a cool... half billion dollars. ticket sales have pushed up the jackpot not once... but twice today. saturday night's drawing value has jumped to 800-million dollars. the cash payout is 496-million the option of taking annual payments over 29 years. the iowa lottery says demand is high in iowa... and some stores have run out of paper in powerball terminals... players already have big plans for 13:34:46 i'd go buy an island and kind of disappear 13:34:51 tickets are two dollars each... players are now deciding how to pick the best numbers.. lottery officials says each ticket has the same odds, but are some strategies luckier than others? lynn melling breaks it down... if you're yet to buy your tickets... consider letting the computer do the picking for you.. according to powerball... 80- percent of winning tickets were "quick picks".. where the computer selects the numbers rather than choosing your own. but then again, 80-percent of buyers use quick picks to play... if you decide to pick your own numbers anyway... here are a few things to consider. since 19-97 the most selected powerball was the number 20. it was picked 75- times. as for the white balls... the top five most selected numbers are 26... 41... 22...16... and 42. at the same time there are a number seven isn't as lucky as you think... same goes for the number one. that's because they are used on about 15-percent of tickets... increasing the likelihood of a split jackpot. now the odds of winning the jackpot are one in 292-million... but that doesn't mean it isn't worth taking a chance. savvy gamblers make their betting decision based on what's called a positive-expectation play. that's a bet that will statistically pay more than one-dollar for every dollar risked. in the case of the powerball... that jackpot would have to be at least 584- million dollars in order to have a positive expectation... if there is a single winner. the latest update shows about 65- percent of all the possible combinations had already been purchased for saturdays drawing... 800-million too much? how about a shot at 165-million? that's the jackpot of tonight's mega millions drawing... tickets cost one dollar... or two dollars with the megaplier option. little better.. with a one in 258-million chance of winning the big prize. blustery nw winds
