And Your Winning Numbers Are...

If you're planning to get in on the big $500M Mega Millions lottery drawing Friday night and want an edge while picking your numbers, it may interest you to know that there are certain numbers that seem to come up more often than others.

According to an article posted on Yahoo Finance the lucky numbers that have come up most often (10%)  for balls #1-5  during the 705 Mega Millions drawing thus far are, 48, 36, 53, 12, 27, 31, 51 and 52. The numbers that have come up the least are 41, 49, 47, 37, and 34.

For the Mega Ball, your best bet is to go with one of these numbers 36, 9, 7, 35, and 2. While the numbers you want to steer clear from would be  28, 32, 46, 14 and 1.

It was noted that even with this information your chances of winning the Mega Millions jackpot is just 1 in 176 million, so I don't think you want to give up you day job just yet but as they say, "you have to be in it to win it !".

My wife picked up our tickets yesterday.

My wife and I each get a ticket when the jackpot is really big. I consider it entertainment. It's fun and well worth the $2.00 to discuss what we would do with all the money if we won.

On an unrelated note, I hope, Mike, that you will blog about our Governor's upcoming and oh-so-sleazy trip to the Middle East. (See today's APP for details.) Who is paying for this trip and what do they want from our Governor in exchange for all the money they are spending?

With the winners from Tinton Falls, I think this area has seen all the luck it will for a long time. There wasn't even a powerball winner from NJ since 2010.
