  That's why you don't pick sequences, patterns on the playslip, or "lucky" numbers 7 and 11 and birthday numbers (1 to 31). If you win, you'll be sharing it with lots of other people who did the same thing.

  I remember when this happened once many years ago in Texas. The winning numbers were 7, 11 and low numbers <= 31. Lots of people split the jackpot.

  If I woke up to a $2,800+ windfall, I'd still be doing my happy dance. I just might not be levitating as much.

  Meanwhile, Daily 4 winners are getting $8100 each (number 7723).

  Today's winning 3-ball is going to be a number between 000 and 999.

  In a lot of states, lotteries benefit education. That makes the REAL winners the only people who can't play!
