  Anyone ever have the right numbers that they play say come up in Powerball instead of MegaMillions... and your state doesn't have Powerball just Megamillions but you seen the Powerball numbers and they were your MegaMillion numbers?

  Lol, that is why I started playing mega millions in the first place. I had never heard of the game until all of the numbers I picked for powerball came out on mega millions one time and I heard it over the radio. Since then, I have picked all six numbers 4 times. Sorry, 5, including the latest 3/13 on MM, which was my dad's bday. Once for Powerball and 3 for Mega Millions. I played them faithfully. But the day I don't play them is the day they come out. Very Frustrating and exciting all at the same time. But look how many times over I could have been a millionaire.

  I played the same set of MegaMillions for years before I moved to Alberta back in Michigan.... I don't even look at MegaMillions anymore unless I've bought tickets on a visit back home. lol

  I have seen a number come up in Powerball and thought to myself " why does that number look familiar. I went back through about 2,000 numbers I generated and saw the same 5 numbers. I have seen numbers drawn for powerball ahead of time only twice.  I have seen numbers draw for powerball match anything I know twice.

  Because of the size of the jackpots, seeing the same 6 numbers you played in MM hitting PB would have a much larger impact on your mind than seeing the Pick-3 number you played in Michigan hitting in California. If you are picking your Mega Millions numbers with a system or method using high/low, even/odd, hot/cold, Sums, decades, last digits, or anything else you thought of based on past performance, you can chalk it up as a very bad coincidence.

  I would feel worse if I bought Mega Millions QP and those numbers hit in Powerball and nobody won, but either way I would still want to bang my head on the keyboard.
