Anyone think it would be more +EV to buy a ticket using last weeks winning numbers? Rather than just some random ones?

if you drive [two miles] to the store to buy your Powerball ticket, your chance of being killed (or killing someone else) is about 5 times greater than the chance that you will win the Powerball Jackpot.
