I think the PB jackpot winner was trying to say in regard to his numbers : He did not build that number set. Someone else built the numbers for him. ;) | | |

Someone else built the numbers for him. ;) I especially enjoyed the end of this attached video, where the MI Lottery Headquarters Director exclaimed: "Don't forget your check!" ... and everyone smiled and turned towards the GLORIOUS big check promo. Congratulations, Donald, on your huge Powerball [$224,655,690.17 cash] jackpot, pre-taxed win and early retirement! It's a shame that you didn't add at least your two daughter's names on the MI Lottery's Official Claim Form; so that each would get their own house, car, and high percentage nest-egg ... too late now].

Congratulations to the winner! I hope he lives his life quietly, and is a great story regarding how to be a good lottery winner; I don't want to see him on "curse of the lottery" or any other lottery programs like Jack Whittaker or Dave Edwards or Mr. Fick & his wannabe pimp son "Mr. Slick"... | | |

When I have handpicked numbers and bought more than one ticket, I have played the same PB more than once (on purpose) yup, exactly my point. Which means you weren't doing randomly, but rather picking them with some kind of thought. Unlike this guy, or so he says. | | |

Drawing on the ticket is nothing. Do a search for, "Kim Claassen" she actually ripped up her winning powerball ticket because she thought the she had a losing ticket after she looked up the winning numbers for the wrong draw. Thankfully, the lottery still accepted the ticket. I keep all of my tickets for this very reason, even if I know they aren't a winner. I have OCD like that, where if I read the winning numbers and they don't match, I still get paranoid that mine may be a winner. You can't be too safe, ha! | | |

Roger that. I think I'm gonna see if some numbers pick me out now on an extry ticket for MM and PB tonight and tomorrow. Now I gotta head down the mountain to Buford's Septic Sludge Pumping & Gourmet Chili (Buford spells it "Gormay") and get the dadgum tickets. Dadgum if 3 numbers didn't pick me out! $30 with the Megaplier. Might just try that again for my monthly tickets today instead of the one QP I usually get. | | |

After checking a ticket and finding it to be a loser I fold it in half horizontaly and make a small tear in it, (I save the losers till the end of the year) if i look @ it later, I know I checked it when I see the tear. LOL, that reminded me of somebody here who said his luck was so bad that the lottery clerk hands him his tickets already torn up. | | |
