About this app

Using the App is intuitive, and requires no instruction, but I have provided a 1-minute demonstration video. The App is compatible with the Powerball Lottery series of numbers.

The PowerPicker Application is a simple offline application that might just provide a satisfying way to choose Lottery numbers. It uses a rolling counter that cycles through 1 – 69 for the first five selections. The counter cycles through 1 – 26 for the sixth selection. As of this update, the App compatible is compatible with the numbers selected in the Power Ball drawing. The counter is set to cycle at a rate of 40 numbers per second. You can view the counter, or not, by using a checkbox.

I built this App for myself. I don’t care much for random number generators. Give the same seed, they repeatably generate the same random number. With a rolling counter, the user provides the human touch of randomness.

This App is meant to add a little fun to your lottery playing experience. You can pretend that your interaction with the counter is Karma, or tapping into the 4th dimension, or using music rhythms, or tuning into the classical mechanics of the universe, etc. In the end, your chances of picking winning number, are governed by statistical probability; meaning your chances are still close to zero.
