Yes justxploring...I won (4) numbers on the powerball and (5) numbers on the lotto one year and if I had one more. Not only did my heart skip a beat..I fell out of my chair. I sure would like to know what it feels like to win the big one, by the way I live in Delaware the hardest state to hit. I also dream numbers and the last number I dreamed was 6699 and there's something magical about the number 1161. You heard it first and GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

while you're mentioning tooth is there really any pain worse than a toothache? i doubt it, even a broken limb isn't as painful as a tooth. funny cause a co-worker had a toothache last weds. he left in the afternoon. i guess friday he went to the dentist( it was payday). 90$ for an extraction and 2 and 1/2 days lost pay later.

Justxporing;

When I had trouble with my Eclipse and the dealer said that the company weren't going to honor the warranty without proof that I had kept the maintenance up on the car, I told him that I would be right back. I went home (5 miles from the dealership), brought back my folder where I had every oil change receipt, maintenance receipt, new tires receipt and told them to fax it all to the warranty office. By the time they got page 25, they called the dealer to tell them to quit and t... [ More ]

Regarding your car warranty problem:

Was your warranty with the car manufacturer (Ford, Dodge, etc) or was it with a third party warranty company? Was it the original factory warranty?

What was the reason given as to why they will not honor the warranty

Yes, When I matched 3+1 on the powerball, and got 4 of 6 on LFL 6 times so far. Last time was when I finally hit the Big 4 straight and boxed. I finally got to see what it was like to keep checking the ticket over 100 times, and date of the draw thinking there had to be some mistake. Can't wait for that feeling for the big jackpot.

justxploring,

I really am sorry to hear of your misfortunes and hope things start to get better soon; karma will make sure of it.

As for your car troubles, try this:

Forget about working the issue with the dealer. Take this to the top of the organization. Call or write a letter to the CEO demanding his or her involvement. They do not want bad publicity and if you eloquantly suggest bad publicity in your letter / conversation, they will step in to solve the issue. I did it with a plasm... [ More ]

Don't let the little things get you down justxploring. I know it's the little day to day problems that add up and can be a pain. But think of the wonderfull story you will have to tell the lottery people when your standing in front of the camera's with a big check in your hands!! If you need to vent you can PM me and I will be glad to listen.

Yes I have had that heart skipped a beat moment. I bought some MegaMillions tickets while traveling thru Georgia and when I checked on t... [ More ]

I've had two of these close ones, had 5 of 6 in the California Lottery, and had 4 of 6 in an $111,000,000 Powerball drawing.

These were both before the internet and I was checking the numbers the next morning in the Suday paper.

Clearly I'm much better at loosing then most here. I have never mistaken my tickets for winners. But I also don't come close either.

Don't feel embarrassed, Bryan. Sometimes I root for the money as it comes out of the ATM

I started to get the shakes the first time I got 4 out of 5 on Showme5. It was very exciting, I thought I had the whole thing and I almost did. The number I missed was off by one digit.

But what you got me thinking about was when I went to a riverboat and just sit down at the very first slot machine I could find open. It was a busy night and a little boat. I knew nothing about the machine. I put in some money and spun the wheel for the very first time and the first dial said Jackpot the sec... [ More ]

Thanks, Charh20. I am picturing the whole scene at your house with the teenagers.

I'm usually not the type to feel sorry for myself (well, maybe just a little) but everything is happening at once. The serious life-threatening problems I can deal with, it's the crap that I can't tolerate. For example, my car really did die again after getting service last week and I was towed (the AAA driver must think I have the hots for him) but this time I was told the engine needs to be replaced for ove...

Yeap.....lol......one Saturday morning my husband went to the little store to get him a cup of coffee and a 2.00 scratch off. All of a sudden in the living room you could hear him yelling and going nuts,,,,,,,going from room to room waking up everyon and telling us that he had won $100,000.....

Got the kids out of bed,,,,,Now this is an event because I have teenagers and to get them out of the bed on a Saturday morning is really something else to see,,,,,

What does 4 out of 5 pay? In FL it averages around $100-$150.

I usually get excited when I see the Oregon Megabucks has a winner and I have a ticket to that drawing. But then I get knocked down when I have matched 3 numbers or less. It sure is fun though to think what if before you get brought back to reality by those dam tickets.-weshar75

Everything is falling apart - literally! Car engine died. Tooth is throbbing. Medical bills are piling. Rent is going up. A million $$$ would really come in handy (even a few thousand.)

Tonight I checked the 2 QPs I bought for FL MegaMoney and saw that one person won $2M. I glanced quickly and saw some of my numbers. My heart started to race. I grabbed my 2 tickets and sat back down at my computer. I only had 2 numbers (won $4.50) So at least I got my money back and a loaf of bread.
