I didn't win :( For some reason I really thought fate was going to point at me. I don't know why, I just thought I would win, but I didn't. I guess I shouldn't have bought all those tickets. I still can't believe it didn't happen. I know it's unlikely, but I had a really good feeling about defying the odds.
Every so often, I get those "good feelings." But the most I've ever won in the lottery is $15. I tried not to let it change me.
I got 1 number right and the mega ball.
my picks were 04 12 15 29 49 and MB 23
What happens if you get the mega ball correct?
You would have a much better time playing scratch off tickets. The odds are much much more in your favor
I'm part of a pool at work but won't know if I won until Monday. I figured our chances of winning at 1 in 5 million, roughly the odds that I'll die on my way to tomorrow's workout.
46, 23, 38, 4, 2 and Mega Ball 23 are the winning numbers.
I could see one scenario leading to this pick:
46 and 38 yr old husband and wife, with 23 yr old only child, and 4 and 2 year old grandkids. Uneducated, thus explaining why the wife or husband became a parent at 15., and why they are more likely to play the lottery.
nothing, since the odds of getting the mega ball are like 1 in 58, meaning a large sum of money would be have to paid out for so many people just for getting it right.
take the population of the country, divide it by 58, and thats the minimum you can expect to pay out just for getting 1 number correct. That won't fly with the Lottery commission...

I think that would be $3
Glad I only spent 1 dollar on the ticket, so, unlike other losers I will not suffer a net loss.

What do you consider a net loss? I got $1 of entertainment out of the whole thing. I didn't win, but I consider my "investment" a net win.
Winning ticket sold in Murder Capital, one of the perennial ones.
I was one number away.....
Should be about $10 actually (one number plus megaball).
I doubt it, but if you were you would have won either 10k or 250k:
Great. I live in Baltimore. This makes me feel even worse I didn't win. Maybe I was standing behind the winner in line. I'm still in shock I lost... I just had this feeling it was going to happen.
