Well, we weren't even close - there go all my new found friends and family. I guess it's back to Plan A - sell house, retire, buy house in TV and move - not as exciting, but I'll get there eventually. Then again, if there is no winner tonight, there is always Friday...

what if ?
 
My husband bought a ticket tonight. Today was my grand daughters birthday. Maybe this will bring us luck! What would we do? Catch the next flight to Orlando, rent a car, buy a courtyard and start singing! :a040:

I forgot about the less-than-grand winning combinations.
Three out of our ninety tickets matched the Megaball number. Wow! - $6.00 split 18 ways - $.33/each.

Now the one set of numbers that we will never see is how much was taken in for last evenings drawing on a state by state basis.

Bought my first lottery ticket ever on Tuesday. Thought, what the heck, you can't win if you don't play and it's just a buck. I got 1 + Powerball number, for a grand prize of $3.

Hey that's a 200 percent return on investment. :laugh:

As the odds of doing that again are so nil, I think I'll quit while I'm ahead. :MOJE_whot:

Gee... and I was worried that I'd have trouble meeting people when I move to TV. It's nice to know I'd have so many friends... and family I never knew I had.

Welcome to the family. We all love TV and are glad you are a part.
:welcome:

Yup - I agree. Suddenly, everyone would want to be your friend - kinda like having your first car in high school.........only on a much different scale!

Maybe the following quote (from an unknown source) would apply: "Having more money will just make being miserable a little more palatable"............for those who are miserable because they feel they never have enough money! :)

Then move to the villages in the middle of the night, so my greedy family would never find me... hahaha
