My lottery ticket matched all six numbers tonight!!!!!!

Unfortunately, it's the lottery ticket that expired on October 31.

The one that's good now didn't match a single number.

You can laugh, or you can cry. I'm laughing.

(I play two sets of numbers -- one I pick myself, the same numbers each time -- and one the computer picks. It was last month's computer pick that matched tonight's drawing.)

What're the odds, huh??

1. Congratulations?

2. Thanks...I think.

*visions of health insurance, a paid-for car, and writing six-figure checks to charities dancing off the stage in my head*

Ah, well. They draw again on Friday.

3. Just curious

Are you playing the Florida or Georgia lottery?

4. it's the Mega Millions, it's in ten or eleven states, I think

My friend buys tickets for me in Georgia.

In some alternate universe, where today is October 31,

you're rolling in dough!

:thumbsup:

Unfortunately, you're here in this universe and can't enjoy it.

:cry:

5. A friend and I bought about $50 worth of tickets in Florida once

We agreed to split any winnings. I was kind of insulted when he insisted I sign a contract to that effect. We hit 4 numbers on one ticket and won about $30.

6. I recently had a ticket that had all the numbers

one off-- even the "Powerball" number! (Texas lottery)

HAD to be a sign....
