Eastern Time (GMT-5:00) | $174 MILLION: Tomorrow's Powerball lottery jackpot red hot5+1 Winner Arizona United States Member #116287 September 7, 2011 14808 Posts Offline | | Posted: September 22, 2012, 8:49 pm - IP Logged | |
Ouch, Ronnie316, it must hurt to KNOW that had you played MM (using at least that # sequence in your typical periodic-draw purchase of 41 rows) on that date you would have had the opportunity to have received the solo annuitized jackpot of $29M pre-taxes!!! Not really, I'm happy to simulate a win and understand the odds. The only guarantee of winning with 28 numbers is a full wheel at a cost of $98,280. however a 4 if 4 wheel has a 1 in 4 chance at a cost of $4931. It just so happened that the 4 if 4 wheel was on target with 5 of 5 that day, so I do wish (of course) that I was playing that wheel that day but it took a full 18 draws to get that hit and I had no real expectations of hitting that day nor did I have the cash for so much on so many draws. ($88,758.) Lets just hope with some planning it can happen on a live ticket in the futue. btw, the 41 line 2 if 2 wheel is a 1 in 2000+ long shot for hitting 5 of 5, but I play it anyway because its much BETTER ODDS than a 1 in 3.8 million QP ticket. lol. lol. | | |

Another $2 ??? You mean you actually tossed away $2 before this?  And I thought you were the biggest tight wad around. (next to THRIFTY of course) Good luck hearse; in letting go of that $2 to the clerk.  | | |

I hardly ever buy a PB ticket, so I bought a QP last night cause the clerk made me laugh and asked me to buy one. At first i declined but then said go ahead. I hate when it's so close like one off. Winning numbers, 2-16-18-40-42 PB-33 My ticket, 3-17-18-27-39 PB-34 | | |
