I had tickets for last Wednesday's Atlantic Lotto draw for $5,000,000 tax free dollars. The numbers were 13-20-27-28-47-49

I had 14-19-27-28-47-49. The first two numbers were off by one and I matched the last four. Payout was a paltry $89.90.

Better luck next time I hope.

I play the Pick 6 Lotto here in New Jersey and I matched 4 out of 6 numbers in three different drawings. And here were my 3 paltry payouts: $78.00, $56.00 and $38.00.

I would think when matching 4 out of 6 numbers a player should receive a much higher payout considering the payout for matching all 6 numbers is always in the millions.
 
You guys are doing something right. I play the PowerBall every now and then and rarely get one of the numbers.

At $2.00 a ticket and astronomical odds the Powerball is a tough nut to crack.

Yeah, better chance of being struck by lightning so they say.


Damned near had that happen too one night driving home in a storm. Lightning struck the top right corner of the bridge just as I was entering it. It blinded me for a second and set my ears ringing for a minute while the stains in the car seat lasted much longer. :whistle:

Was driving to my friend's camp one night, I think after we left the bar, but anyways, power pole alongside the road was hit just as I passed it, very cool, lightning had kind of a green hue to it.
 
My physics professor had a name for the lotto system - it is really a tax system for those of certain intelligence threshold, but at least it was voluntary.
