Remember, to hit the Powerball jackpot, you must also win first division by having a line on your ticket that matches the six numbers drawn out before the bonus ball.

The luckiest Powerball number is two, which has been drawn 125 times and helped 18 players take home a cool $185 million among them.

Good luck, and don't be too disappointed if your numbers aren't called - the chances are approximately the same as being struck by lightning.

Twice.
