you checked your ticket against old numbers by accident? then tore it up and found out nobody won... so now you want to dig up your ticket for tonights numbers?
i seriously question your commitment to gambling. how can anyone wager to win 15 million dollars and then not follow up properly.
next time you feel the need to buy a ticket, simply place a dollar bill in an envelope and mail it to me. after 10 tickets or so, i'll declare you a winner and send you a 5$ cheque. you get to "win" and i feel good about myself for letting you win. deal? |
And dang blue, you're one smart guy!

Ok, winning numbers were:
4 11 14 36 41 25
When I get to work I will re-create the ticket and see what happens. My guess is I am out $1.

from the torn up ticket:
12 22 23 31 42 28
I was right the first time! Not a single correct number. Let this be another $1 lesson that I will likely learn again if the jackpot grows large enough.

A little more creativity with the taping and I'd say you could eek out maybe three numbers right

I know. My retort wasn't serious, but I realized it may not have come across that way after I hit "submit". No offense taken...

Is it really up that high? I haven't paid it any attention. While cleaning out my center console I found an old ticket I bought for a July 9 drawing. I guess at some point I will check it to see if I won anything.
