I know I only had 2 numbers right, I meant the PATTERN was close; no single digits or teens. Such bitter people! SHEESH!maybe after they list the 200,... [ More ]

Sleepingdogslie,You are probably right, but I hope not. Last night, out of $20 worth of tickets in Powerball I matched 2+PB for $7, but I didn't mention it, because I didn't think it was worth mention when I checked to see how many tickets did better. I hope the next time you start a post titled ALMOST had it right , it will be a post where you matched 5 for $175K and missed the jackpot by just coming close to picking the right PowerBall. Good luck to you.RJOh

Last year in Ohio649P, I missed matching all 6 digits for the jackpot by missing one digit by 2. I matched 5 of the 6 which paid $1500. That is what I call close, simply having 6 numbers that are on the playing cards is expected since the card is rejected if you don't mark 6 numbers.RJOh

something similar happened to me about a month ago. Of by two and had the first digit matching.

I was pretty close too:Every one of the numbers on my 5 tickets was in the ball drum from which the numbers were drawn. (Sleepingdog - you'll have to excuse my sarcastic sense of humor
