Ok, I thought I was good at math, but apparently not. For you super math whizzes out there, why are the odds of getting JUST the powerball right 69-1? Arent there only 54 numbers?

Those odds discount the odds of hitting PB+1 other, PB+2 others, etc.

The quoted odds of 1 in 69 are the odds of hitting the Powerball and MISSING each and every one of your white ball selections.
