Woman got all six Powerball numbers - but bought her ticket an HOUR too late

[Tony_FLADEM]

Having your lottery numbers come up should be the stuff dreams are made of, but what if they did - and then you were told your ticket wasn't valid?

This stomach-turning scenario appears to have happened to one unlucky lady from California.

2. Ticket was not valid for that drawing.

3. I wonder if did it for the publicity?

In the picture of the ticket, you can she she didn't use auto pick, she choose the numbers herself. I wonder if she saw the winning numbers, then bought a ticket, as some way to get publicity.

Perhaps not, but if she is an idiot, why would she want to tell that to the national media.
