I have done it often. It is very frustrating knowing that I was only one number off of winning thousands sometimes, and millions other. For instance, one time, my numbers were all exactly one number off from the draw. Every number. Another time, I did win money, but three of the other numbers were exactly one number off. (Actually, that one has happened quite a bit.) And yet another time, I picked all six numbers correctly.... I just played them on the wrong jackpot game...should have played those numbers on mega millions rather than powerball. And there was one time when I got 4 numbers and the other two, well, were "on the right path". But the ones that bother me the most are the ones, I play all the time and they only come out when I don't play at all. Or I just didn't play that particular line that particular night., but have played for every draw for years. Every number will come out just as I have played them. {I know people don't believe me when I say that, but one of these days I will scan some of those tickets (when I get a scanner or a camera that is working) and show everyone here that it has happened., if it happens again.} Frustrating. And yet, another time I was "chasing it hard" when I got 3 numbers consecutively time and again on the same ticket, but failed to match the other three by a lousy number or two.
My only explanation for all of this is: It will happen for me when it is time for me to win.
