3. Didn't even get one number. Dammit.

4. I never check my tickets...

I always wait to see if anyone hit. They usually know the state, it's never my state. I'll wait till tomorrow to see if there's a winner. Then I'll check my tickets on one of those scanner thingies, maybe I'll win $4.00, I won $4 today. Who knows.

5. I WON!!!!!!!

$4 and 8 of us in the pool.

10. Woo Hoo! Congratulations to my new best friend, SmileyRose!!

Now, can I borrow 50 cents? See, this is a good thing. If you had won, my loan request would have been for much, much more. And you still won 50 cents more than I did.

19. I worked with a woman who lived in a village with a big winner

25 years ago. She said "my gosh he was a snob. You'd walk up to him on the street and ask for some money and he refused to give you any".

6. Damn. I guess this means I'm going to work tomorrow. n/t

[JI7]

[tridim]

[hrmjustin]

9. Another dream dashed!

[HipChick]

11. So close..

[Stinky The Clown]

12. Does that game pay out for partial matches?

[W_HAMILTON]

17. Yes, I believe so.

Refer to http://www.powerball.com/powerball/pb_prizes.asp

It looks like you win something if you:

1) match the Powerball number (it was 6 in today's drawing); or
2) match at least three or more of the non-Powerball numbers.

13. I didn't even buy a ticket.

I don't even want that much money. My head hurts thinking about it. My mother bought a ticket, though. I told her if she won to just give me a single million. That's all I want.

[liberal_at_heart]

14. not a single number. oh well.

[neverforget]

15. I had 2 numbers 22 & 29 on one line and 5 on the other.

I played $4

[Recovered Repug]

16. Damn. I was so close too.

I was just 6 numbers off.

[LeftInTX]

18. Darn those were the numbers I was gonna play, but I forgot to buy a ticket

[HiPointDem]

20. what's the "discussion" aspect of this big news?

[applegrove]

21. I didn't know if this should be posted in the lounge. I suppose

I wanted the widest possible viewership because I know how many people were talking about it in various forums.

23. Those were the EXACT numbers I was going to play!

Now, where do I file my lawsuit to get my share of the money?

[cherish44]

24. I didn't get any of them "exactly" but a couple were just one or two numbers off...

that's worth a few hundred bucks isn't it?
