No number is more likely to make you rich than others, but some are a bit more common in the last seven years.

Example video title will go here for this video

DES MOINES, Iowa — A huge Powerball jackpot is nearing $2 billion, and you may be wondering if some numbers are "luckier" than others. The short answer: All combinations have the same tiny chance at winning. To win the jackpot, you need to beat the whopping 1 in 292.2 million odds by matching the numbers on the five white balls and the red Powerball. Players often wonder if there's a strategy to it. Some numbers have been drawn a bit more often than others, but your chances remain the same for any combination.

Are some numbers luckier?

Statistics professor Rong Chen said in a Q&A article from Rutgers University that any combination has the same odds. Being selected in the past doesn't mean a combination is more or less likely to win: "Those numbers have the same chance of winning as any other number today." Chen said combinations that other players are less likely to pick, like strong patterns or numbers that are too high to be a birthdate, might reduce your chances of having to share the jackpot. That doesn't make you any more likely to actually win, though. Just for fun, we wanted to take a look at the "luckiest" numbers in Powerball's recent history. These totals are from the last seven years — from Oct. 7, 2015 to Saturday's drawing — according to lottery statistics site lottonumbers.com.

Who plays the lottery more rich or poor?

It is clear from these graphs that the poorest zip codes purchase more tickets at the lowest jackpot levels. However, at the highest jackpots the sales are about the same (slightly over $16 per capita in the poorest zip codes and around $17 per capita in the richest). Basically, the poor play all the lotteries.

Does it seem like this massive Mega-Millions jackpot is attracting a lot of Lottery players that you wouldn't normally expect?

It's not an accident.

In a 2002 Senior Honors Thesis at Harvard titled: Dreaming Big: Why Do People Play the Powerball?, Emily Oster produced these two great charts. The first looks at per-capita sales of lottery tickets in poor neighborhoods. Each dot represents one drawing.

The second look at the same jackpots, but instead focuses on per-capita sales in rich neighborhoods.

The difference?

It is clear from these graphs that the poorest zip codes purchase more tickets at the lowest jackpot levels. However, at the highest jackpots the sales are about the same (slightly over $16 per capita in the poorest zip codes and around $17 per capita in the richest). Basically, the poor play all the lotteries. The rich just go for the big ones, but when the big ones happen, they do it at the same level as the poor.
