Anyway, I 'm not sure,... but it's a huge jackpot! Once again the pot is in the billions. I'm sure there's plenty of numbers being written down. Odds are not so good though. But if you're one who plays I think the numbers in my birthday may be a winner!
Okay, I'm being optimistic...but it's my birthday!

You know it doesn't make much sense There ought to be a law against Anyone who takes offense At a day in your celebration 'Cause we all know in our minds That there ought to be a time That we can set aside To show just how much we love you And I'm sure you will agree It couldn't fit more perfectly Than to have a world party on the day you came to be
Chorus Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday (Repeat)
I just never understood How a man who died for good Could not have a day that would Be set aside for his recognition Because it should never be Just because some cannot see The dream as clear as he That they should make it become an illusion And we all know everything That he stood for time will bring For in peace our hearts will sing Thanks to Martin Luther King
Chorus Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday (Repeat)
Bridge Why has there never been a holiday Where peace is celebrated all throughout the world
The time is overdue For people like me and you You know the way to truth Is love and unity to all God's children It should be a great event And the whole day should be spent In full remembrance Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people So let us all begin We know that love can win Let it out don't hold it in Sing it loud as you can
Chorus Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday (4x)
(Background Stevie) Happy birthday Ooh yeah Happy birthday, To you
We know the key to unity of all People Is in the dream that you had so Long ago That lives in all of the hearts Of people That believe in unity We'll make the dream become A reality I know we will Because our hearts tell us so

I've never played the lottery, but I found some strategy tips for winning by Gail Howard, good luck!
AVOID NUMBER COMBINATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN DRAWN BEFORE
Many players like to bet the numbers that have won someone else a big jackpot, and by doing so, they are almost guaranteed NOT to win one themselves. In Powerball, with two drawings a week, a set of five numbers plus the Powerball number has a chance of being drawn once every 1,875,000 years!!! This should also answer the question Gail Howard is so often asked, "Shouldn't I keep playing the same set of numbers every week because they are due to hit sometime?"
AVOID BETTING FIVE CONSECUTIVE NUMBERS
Even four consecutive numbers is a very rare occurrence that, in most Lotto games, has never happened once. Only 3 adjacent numbers or less have hit together so far in the current Powerball number format history.
AVOID BETTING ONE LOTTO NUMBER GROUP
Never choose all five numbers from one number group, such as all single digits, or all teens, or all 20's, etc. All five winning numbers drawn from one group is highly unlikely.
AVOID THE COMBINATION 1-2-3-4-5
The most popular set of numbers most often played is: 1-2-3-4-5. Thousands of tickets are bought with this combination every drawing. The selection is too far out of balance to come up in a random drawing.
AVOID PATTERN BETTING
Pattern betting is an even more popular method of marking bet slips. Patterns of numbers marked in a row to make a straight line, either across the bet slip vertically or diagonally get heavy play—which means sharing the prize with others if the numbers are drawn as winners. Other designs such as patterns of initials or numbers or crosses also get heavy play.
AVOID NUMBER MULTIPLES
Other popular combinations that get heavy play are the number multiples, especially 5-10-15-20-25 and 7-14-21-28-35.
AVOID ALL SAME LAST DIGITS
Many people like to play same last digits, such as 3-13-23-33-43, or all digits that end in seven, or some other favorite lucky lottery number. Even four same last digits occur in less than two-tenths of one percent of all drawings. No drawing in the current Powerball history has had more than 4 same last digits. Winning sets of numbers with no more than one repeated last digit represent 98 percent of all current Powerball drawings, so it is an excellent strategy to play only one, two, or zero repeat last digits in a single combination.
AVOID LOW NUMBER COMBINATIONS
The majority of Lotto players like to play the calendar numbers, such as birth dates and anniversaries—and their children's ages. This means that the most heavily played numbers are 1 through 31. Powerball has 59 numbers. If you play only the calendar numbers, you might be sharing your jackpot with dozens of other winners. It's not to say that you shouldn't play your personal numbers if you feel these lucky numbers are good to play. But Gail Howard recommends that you include a couple of high numbers so that just in case your numbers do hit, you win a prize that's worth something.
WOW! Sounds like a gamble of excitement fun.... Even for a "cheepy" like me...LOL! I hate losing, so I'm not a gambler at all. Others are just the opposite and take "far too greater chances in gambling! " I find that totally risky and foolish.
That's true...One of my uncles gambled up his family home so I got my lesson at an early age to not make a habit out of gambling...there's nothing wrong with having fun but remember that moderation is key!
