The online gambling gurus at Play USA analyzed numbers drawn throughout the history of the Powerball lottery and have determined which number appears most frequently. The question is: Will you use this information or stick with your lucky numbers?

I already know the luckiest number in the lottery, but I don't know if I'll use it or the top five. Why? The instant I deviate from my numbers—let's use Club Keno as an example—they instantly appear to mock me. However, they seem to go on vacation when I play them, waiting for me to try something new again.

I usually don't play the lotto. Like many Michiganders, I might pick up a Powerball ticket when the jackpot gets over $100 million. Whenever I do this I'm struck by the irony that I'll happily part with two bucks when I have a chance to win over $100 million, but I can't be bothered for anything less. As if $1 million or even $50,000 isn't life-changing money.

But, as the saying goes, "You can't win if you don't play." Maybe, armed with the luckiest numbers in the lotto, I'll fork out my "voluntary Michigan tax (as my Dad called it)" and pony up for a chance to win big.
