Well, at least they got that feeling for twenty minutes to know what's it like to win the Powerball game. It must of had been something to have been there to see and hear all that excitement.

I always wondered if there was anyone out there who had tickets that reflected the same numbers before or after the actual winning number on a specific date. So here is a case that I can reference.....I am surprised and my heart goes out to the people that thought they won.

Please, double check those numbers, please double check it! No, please check that date, please check it. The 'dumb ass ' who called out those numbers should get his brain checked for possible brain damage.

I was the one who posted this the other day. As I said in that post it looked to me like they guy was just lying and yelling out the same numbers to act like he won.

If you look at the second line, it is a duplicate from the week before. Someone in the group thought they were smart by thinking a set of numbers would repeat the following week. This is not the Pick 3.

If you look at the ticket, someone copied the numbers from the last 2 games, how ignorant. I would be mad at the person who filled out the sheet. It is so obvious. The lines are just now beginning to get long in Dallas, almost like it's a New Year's Eve.

I need to know more.

Was this a quickpick, or did someone actually intend to play the same numbers that were just drawn, assuming the same numbers would come up twice in a row (like a certain recent Keno game)? 1 in 292M is bad enough, but twice in a row

Seems like a hoax to me. Anyone can post on the intertubes.

For example, social media messages regarding $1.5 billion being shared to all in USA would give everyone $4.3 million when in reality it would equate to around $4. Lots of people out there with too much free time generating this nonsense. Don't believe most of it. Though, ironically, some would consider this post as falling into that category.

Includes video report

Workers at one New Jersey restaurant cried tears of joy and shouted one even quit his job after they matched winning Powerball numbers with a lottery ticket they'd purchased for an office pool.

Unfortunately for them, they didn't realize they had read off the wrong day's winning numbers.
