Almost won $16 million:(

My dad had 4/6 Right, he only walks away with $75 now.

Another 2 numbers would of been the jackpot

This was a Quick Pick.

Not bad for a quick pik! 4 out of 6 is actually a LONG way from being close to winning the jackpot...... believe me!

I had 5 of 6 twice and once the missed number was 1 shy away. Now that's what you call "almost won the jackpot........." !

really very good, but only have 1 of 990 chance.

I did allude to this vaguely in a post back in June of 2003 ( I believe it was), but, I don't think anybody picked up on it which was just as well and I never did mention it again because those were the days of fighting, accusing, demanding scans and all the rest of it. For the Jan. 09/2002 draw (six months prior to my becoming a member of this BB), which was another reason for not saying anything, this is one of the lines I played:

8-12-23-28-39-43

Now, that is what I would call close to winning the JP

Some people are just born lucky.We sometimes get a small taste of what winning the Jackpot might be like only to say, why them and not me.I have been close myself but that's the extent of it. I'll never give up trying because there's always that slim chance that maybe I'll be lucky too.

Yes, that would be a good definition of "close to winning the JP" that's 5+B which would mean second prize of anywhere from $100K Up. You're rich !!!

Good for you !!!

Those 4+1 Idiots would be ganging on you for proofs for sure.....

 

[Maggie]

Rich?? Not exactly...there were 12 winners that night with 5+B. The payout was just under 76,000. Nice, anyway you slice it, though.
