Hi everyone! This is my first post. I've been reading posts on this forum for couple months now and i must say, the members on this forum are just awesome (thank you!) I had to sign up and share this story as it is killing me right now.. lol Today i went to my local supermarket Publix and purchased two $3 Florida Lotto Tickets which makes me eligible for the biggest prize; $28,000,000. I just checked my lotto number and i got 5 of the 6 numbers correct on one of my ticket... arrrgghhH! The winning numbers were 3-15-19-24-37-51 My number: 13-15-19-24-37-51 it all came down to 3 and 13... at first i won and i screamed... then i checked again and i was severely dissapointed at the 1 in the front of the 3. sigh...... i guess i should be happy with $4,476. Though $28mill would have been better. Today, I probably had the closest chance ill ever have to being a millionaire...
I WAS SOOOO CLOSE!!!! arghhh lol.

I would be so tempted to try and use some "whiteout". ;-) Money can't buy you happiness, but I sure could afford the misery that it brings!  | | |

Welcome and NO you're not too young to win. It just wasn't your time. Congrats all the same. Gang of 23: 3,6,9,10,12,13,15,16,18,19,20,21,23,24,26,27,28,29,30,33,36,37,39 If you are going to play a 'zero' (10,20 or 30) play the 'subset':3,6,10,13,16,20,23,26,30,33,36

Congrats on what you did win. Most people haven't even won a prize of that size. "No one remembers the person who almost climbed the mountain, only the person who eventually gets to the top."

I would had been happier if you told me you was a supercomputer with algorithms doing this... Scientists, geniuses & nerds work on stuffs to purify salt water and on stuffs to make any hair straight.
The Forex trades: 1.6 Trillion dollars EVERY day, that´s more than the GDP of the Carribbean Central America, COMBINED. Enough to feed every crook out there for centuries...To all Geniuses & Powers Countries of the World the Planet needs breakthroughs in all Medicine, Veterinary, Biology related fields, Psychology, Population Psychology/Sociology..They need to genetically ingeneer new plants species/types to give more variety of plants and thus have more resources for combating diseases¨

Hi duke2011 welcome to lottery post. Dont feel too bad. Do a few jump kicks to the butt. Learn to listen to your gut instinct. And obey next time. Trust me there will be a next time. We have all experienced what happened to you. As a matter of fact two has happened to me within the past few months. Read the payday that got away and listen and you will hear. No it is not a good feeling but move past it and keep playing. When I miss the mark I always tell myself that I can't miss what I never had. | | |
