  If you purchased a pb ticket w/o pp and found out that you hit the five numbers for one mill, but could have won two mill if you would have spent the extra buck for pp.would be kicking yourself for not power playing,or would you be just a happy?

  Yeah, I'd be mad, cause a million bucks just doesn't cut it. 

  How can I possibly live comfortably on 700 grand after taxes? Unthinikable !

  not as mad as  buying no winning tickets, and paying  extra for a multiplyer of my zero win

  " Still swinging, still missing "
  2014 = -1016; 2015= -1409; 2016  = -1171; 2017 = -1257 ; 2018 = - 1380 =  TOT =  - 6233

  keno historic = -2291 ; 2015= -603; 2016= -424; 2017 =-427; 2018= -223   TOT = -3968

  I wouldn't be a bit mad that I didn't PowerPlay at all. No regrets there. 

   

  HOWEVER, I'd be UBER PISSED/sad/frustrated/angry/upset that I was that close to winning it all. 

   

  and a little excited. But mostly regret.

  I would be happy to win 1 million, but deep down inside, I would be a little disappointed I came so close to many millions and missed by one number. To get so close while knowing that was probably your one chance to win...yep I would be upset even if I bought the power play

  I think what would stick in my craw more than that for some reason would be getting 4+1 and getting 10k instead of 40k because of being cheap. 

  It's only a buck.

  I always get the Power Play.

  We don't have that option in California, as a matter of fact I probably wouldn't get anywhere close to a million depending on how many people won. If I was mad at anything, it'd be that I was a red ball away from winning it all.

  I would accept a million for 5+0 or two million.  I would be happy either way because I would be debt free and have a couple of hundred thousand dollars in the bank.-weshar75

  It's like you're asking would you rather have 15 chances of winning the jackpot instead of 10 hoping to score on the prizes 99.7% of the tickets won't win. On the other hand you can double your winnings (4 times matching 4 + 1) with an extra buck using PowerPlay.

  Though I doubt they would be kicking themselves for spending an extra buck, has anyone who used PowerPlay or the Megaplier won a jackpot?
