Hey, I would have done that too, if I had thought of it.

BTW, I had the powerball # with 2 other numbers on one line. What is that worth? $10?

I so want to play the Lost numbers in Lotto just to see what happens

 

[Minniespal]

So do I but I'm scared what would happen to me if I won.

Me too. I'd never fly again. Then again, I would if Josh was on the plane. How I'd love to be stranded on an island with that man.

I wouldn't play the Lost numbers. Not because I'm afraid of what would happen, but because there's lots of people playing the same numbers and I'd rather not share my winnings

If you power played it, it's worth more, isn't it?

I figure I don't fly anyway....... lol

I don't even know what that means. I just went to a lottery site and it said it was worth $7.00. The machine picked all the numbers, if that matters.

For future reference, when you play the Powerball, if you pay an extra dollar/line played, you are Power Playing it. When they draw the #'s, they always draw a Power Play # which will be anywhere from 1-5. For example, if you have 1 number and the Power Ball #, you usually win about $4.00. If you Power Play it, and the Power Play # comes up as 3, you multiply your $4.00 winning 3x, therefore winning $12.00 instead of $4.00.

So, $21? instead of $7?

Okay, I checked. You had 2 numbers and the power ball #, which is worth $7.00. The power play # was 5 last night. If you had paid the extra $1.00 to power play it, you would've won $35.

Sadly, I hit absolutely nothing. Not even $3. $340 million is just scary money. My whole office went in on it. If I would have walked away with $13 million, I would have "managed."

There was a recent story about a large number of winners in the lottery. Come to find out they all played numbers they got on the back of their fortune from their fortune cookie.

I thought the opposite about the LOST numbers.

Hundreds of people are playing those numbers. I would rather take my chances of hitting with unique numbers and having the pot to myself or only split among a small amount of others.

I talked my mom into using the Lost numbers, but then we've tried to cookie method of number picking so the show's numbers are like that to her
