    I didn't hit a single number on the mega million lottery. How did you do?

    One number only...guess that means I didn't win?     :(

    I am always completely shocked when I don't win... It knocks my socks off when someone else wins my prize...


    How can this be?  I am as beyond the beyond the beyond ... that you have experienced this. 


    I think you need to find a different place to buy your tickets.  In my experience, the ticket is always sold at the store I did not purchase my ticket from.


    Truly frustrating.


    I thought it was yours. 


    Did you play your regular numbers or buy the 'Quick Pick' version? ... that might have been important. 


    I quick pick and never win.

    Fishy, you always have a better chance if you make out your own numbers and keep playing them every time. Thats a fact.

    Dowsa Man!!! You are seriously blessed!!!!!!

    Tough luck hey Jools? I heard that the odds of winning were 176 Million to one.Good luck on the next one.

    I understand that one has a better chance at being hit by a car on the way to buy a ticket than of winning but, SOMEBODY has to...........

    I feel for you Jules and the rest of Aka members who bought a ticket, it would have been awsome tp win it , i have a couple of more hours to see how i go, but it is only $31 million Australian dollars, if i win i will post it drinking champagne. lol.

    Broke even.  Didn't participate.

    I blew $2.....

    No not a one but i did hit my head off the wall when i found out i still have to work on monday, better luck net time around thats if i ever play again..

    I did not buy even one ticket, but my other half bought 50 tickets and had only had one megaball number. So much for wasting money. I understand there were 3 winners - Ks., Ill., and Maryland. People spent 1,5 billion dollars in the US to win this big price. The states made out lake a bandit. People in NH. alone spent 2,3 million dollars in tickets. Each of these people won 213 million dollars.

    176 million to one. I helped prove those odds true and tossed a dollar in the machine. Not one number matched….yep that is mighty long odds there. I did math on the odds of various numbers showing up more or less often than others and got stats that looked like a roller-coaster ride. So i worked on probability theroms and various selection systems to see if one random number system could be shown to be comparable to another in such a way as to accurately predict a set based on the systems and got zip. I tried looking at random variables as future predictors with some pretty big computers attempting to hack through the hash to get a few leading indicators….the losses were more reliable than the winners and then that turned around unpredictably. I decided there are other ways that my time can be spent than trying to get one up on God.
