These figures come from the matrix in force today. Earlier eras had different pools and therefore different odds — the matrix eras page lists them. Buying more lines multiplies cost and chance in the same proportion; no selection method alters the odds of a single line.
· dataset. Statistics and the generator use the current matrix only. Powerball has changed matrix twice since 2010, so figures from different eras are not comparable. Draws are independent and no pattern in past results affects a future one.
