That sting of disappointment; did anyone hit anything

oh yea....lol...I was trying to drink some tea before leaving and typing at the same time. But for the occasional super big JP, the 75 numbers still don't interest me otherwise.

I ignore the advertised JP and always look at the CV

Of course for me it don't matter much as I usually just buy one ticket per draw.

I will opt out again until it hits $400,000 plus.

It's unfortunate that most people don't realize that the net cash value is only 27-32% of the advertised jackpot annuity.

2 out of my 5 tickets had the mega ball so I won 8 bucks but really lost $2 on the investment.I was highly disappointed I had no other numbers on the winning tickets.Congrats to Cali and GA

haymaker — Wed, 18 Dec 2013 21:24:15 GMT

Naw, not really,

I had my 1 reg. draw w/MP

My reg.ticket still has another draw on it for the next base JP, I will happily accept that.

Also 3 xtra tix w/MP and had zero.

But I knew the odds going in, so maybe I'll just quit w/the xtra tix.

Maybe I'm numb after 40 years of playing, except when living in non-lottery states

What I meant was when the jackpot rolls around to about $200 million or a little more. So I would take the lump sum, which would leave you with about $60-70 million after taxes. I would be happy with that amount.

not disappointed only spent $1.00.. didn't win anything but was wishing for a million though

Jill34786 — Wed, 18 Dec 2013 20:19:58 GMT

If what you want is only $200 million then you need to wait until the jackpot gets closer to $700 million. The $636 million jackpot would have only paid out roughly $170 million to a residence of New York once all tax obligations were met.

Greg2117 — Wed, 18 Dec 2013 20:12:45 GMT

yeah, but I didn't want to waste money and take the chance, incase there was only one winner. Like Gloria who won the powerball. It's not worth the attention and hassle trying to figure out what to do with all that money.

lejardin — Wed, 18 Dec 2013 20:05:31 GMT

Big $5 investment and I didnt get even one number. Even knowing the astronomical odds I was still feeling letdown this morning, so disappointed. I guess God has decided it just isnt my turn yet. I have to agree with another poster, I am not so sure I would know what to do with it. Yea, that's it, as good a excuse as any lol.

Oh well onto the next lottery, got your tickets for Powerball? Good luck all.

dats why i buy a couple lines (two this time) and pick my numbers from them. I got a tic with the mutiplyer 7 and the white ball 20 ($8) and i got the 7 mutipler on one tic because it was the multiplyer on one of those two lines. ($4) So I win $12 Actually I only won 6 bucks cause I paid $6 for the tickets.

I didn't buy any tickets. I rather win when the jackpot prize is less. Mabey under $200 million. I would not know what to do with $636 million.

Toronto — Wed, 18 Dec 2013 19:15:13 GMT

I bought 15 tickets each for the 3 drawings above $300+ million to gauge my luck (I don't play at lower levels), enough to win once you would think? Not a single win in all those. Since the start of September, 72 games of chance/tickets (for various games) played, only 1 win...a 1 in 50.98 million losing streak.

LottoBoner — Wed, 18 Dec 2013 17:52:05 GMT

Actually that prize is worth only a miserable 1 dollar.

As for me I spent 8 and recouped 0.

I still have to cash in my previous MM win ($2), and then reinvest when the jackpot get back to 400 million.

I dont feel a sting, because my expectations were relatively reasonable.

Besides,

I had 4 numbers, but they were on seperate lines and the mega ball which was on a seperate ticket all together. So, spent $20 and won $1

bigbear29 — Wed, 18 Dec 2013 13:39:27 GMT

Yes, this is very disappointing, both stores are asian stores, how lucky is that. I had a feeling that the numbers were going to be low numbers for the win. I had some other winning tickets, but I have not checked the amount of my other tickets.

One of my own numbered tickets: 8 11 14 17 32 - 14 winning numbers were 8 14 17 20 39 - 7

MM is too long(time wise) and not enough winners for me.

Anyone else feeling that sting of disappointment? or Were you lucky enough to hit something?

I at least thought I would hit some numbers (on the same line). Only 2 numbers on different lines. Oh well better luck next time.
