Nebraska Lottery - Improve Your Odds
Use this guide to determine when to play a specific game in the Nebraska lottery. This page focuses on the odds of playing any particular game and what I call the "Expected Value" to determine when is the best time to play.

Nebraska Powerball - Avoid
Based on the odds of playing the Nebraska Powerball, the Jackpot should be at least $161,134,919 before you consider playing. I do not recommend playing Powerball games because the odds are far too astronomical for you to affect. Note that you can also add to your potential winnings by choosing the powerplay option but this does not increase your odds of winning.
Nebraska Pick 5 - Play
This is a decent game to play if the jackpot ever gets big enough. It's pretty straight forward. You pick 5 numbers and if you get all of them right you win the jackpot. The only difference is that their are less numbers to choose from and the jackpot is smaller. The only gripe I have with this game is that the jackpot starts too low. If it ever gets to $325,000 you should play the Nebraska Pick 5. Here are your odds.
