Looking for tips to increase your odds of winning Powerball?

Ditch birth dates or other milestones—balls are numbered up to 69 and calendar dates are at the extreme low end of the spectrum. Also, play with friends or co-workers.

And remember to sign the back of your ticket! You wouldn’t want someone else walking away with your jackpot if you lose your ticket.
