2 numbers away from 30 Million Dollars!!!!

[SouthernTn]

Well, Tennessee has had the lottery for about 2 - 3 years now I believe. (Cant really remember)

But, I said hey, its a chance to win 30 Million dollars.. So I found an old ticket , figured it could be fate and played the numbers


Out of 6 numbers, I had 4 right.


The ones I missed were soooooo close.

I had >>> 24 , 41

The last two winning numbers were >>> 34 , 40



:upset: .. So, I won only $100.00 , could have been $400 if I payed an extra dollar more lol

Not sure how many numbers are in that lottery, but in a game where you choose 6 numbers from a possible 49.

Chance of 4 correct is 1,031 : 1
Chance of 6 correct is 13,983,816 : 1

Significantly different odds

Or if you prefer, to win your prize you only had to play 1,031 times, but to win the jackpot you'd have to play 13 million times..

Congrats on the $100. Two off would have made my day.

The wife does it over here in the UK, same set up I think as yours in Tennessee, we win the occasional £10 for 3 correct numbers but nothing more than that.

Congratulations on your win.

Yea, we pick 6. so I was 4/6 .. the numbers were


19-22-30-34-52 40 ( in that exact order )

My ticket read


19-22-30-24-52 41

So, you'd have to imagine the look on my face when the first three were correct in the exact order.

Thought I was about to come onto dnforum and buy up alot of stuff! :upset: and even spread a little bit of the new found wealth to people randomly.. yes, im that nice haha

I prefer scratchers. It's a much more entertaining way to lose your money.

Not that it really matters, but if you were playing Tennessee Powerball your odds of picking 6 were: 1-146,107,962

Odds picking 4: 1-14,254

Definitely not a good idea to try and buy all the tickets!

 

[copper]

Humm...
I haven't played Powerball for few months.
I guess I'll try it out

If I win, most of that money will go into buying domains as well

2 numbers away from 30 Million Dollars .

If you won you would have a whole new set of problems.

Plus, it would throw you into the maximum tax bracket.
:lol:
