Camden, you listen to me and listen to me good!

I would be happy with the $100 dollars also. I know you were very very close and if I was in your position I would be feeling pretty bad. But ever since I started playing PB last September (2003), on and off, i've never won a single dime. Hopefully that makes you feel better.

when you walk away with more than you bet, that's a win... enjoy it because it doesn't happen often... I have only ever hit $100 once, and I was thrilled (only regret was not playing the power play... it was 5x that night, but back then I usually played 10 lines... now that I play 1, I power it up for the extra buck).Congrats on your hit! I matched 2 white balls and was oner number off of matchig a third... I would have been happy with $7 (x4 ;-) ) but it was not to be... maybe next week.... [ More ]

camden2004, I once had five out of six for $1000 in a 6/42 game; one more number would have made me a $5 million winner. In fact, the number I needed was in the line above directly over the wrong number. I thought a lot about how close I had come to hitting the jackpot, but I was thrilled with the $1000 because I needed it pretty badly at the time.Of course, you wish you had won the jackpot, but you were very fortunate to win the $100 in a tough game like PowerBall. Be happy about your good luck... [ More ]

i'd take what you can get. it's better than not winning anything.

I still have yet to win $100. The best I've ever done was matching three white balls for $7 in the Powerball and matching two white balls + the mega ball for $10 in Mega Millions. I have been playing for almost a year now and so far I've got back only $24 between the two games (I only play whichever game has the higher jackpot at the time).

Well, on the bright side, you have some money to buy tickets for the next jackpot draw because it's rolled again

Been there done that. to coin an old expression. To have played and won anything is better than playing and winning nothing.
