Jay,

Honest this is how it's done.
Power Ball is 5 of 53 for the first 5 numbers, so

picking 5 of 53 is 53/5=10.6

then picking 4 of 52 is times 52/4=137.8

then picking 3 of 51 is times 51/3=2342.6

then picking 2 of 50 is times 50/2=58565

then picking 1 of 49 is times 49=2,869,685

2,896,685 is the number of combinations
of the first five.

then there will be 1 of 42 power balls

so times 42=120,526,770

and that's the truth..........

I am putting together 309,043 text files,
each file has 390 random selected, used only once
combinations.  I have 15,000 done now.  It is a
very long process right now till I get some combos
used up and I can shrink the file.  Current hourly
output is 280,800 with out hitting very many used
records.

Now if I can locate 309,043 people to play the
numbers I give them.  Someone will win, all of
the numbers are covered.

Power Ball is in 27 states, D.C., P.R., V.I.

I just need a few to get it started.

Why? Well I was born in Las Vegas is the only
answer I can offer.

Best Regards,
Mike McAvoy
