I didn't win anything. I had 7 lines as per my rule(1 line for every $100million of cash) and didn't match a single number. I also have tickets for Pick 4 and Pick 5 and it seems the website and app for the Louisiana Lottery aren't working. I bet they've been crashed by everyone hoping for the billion.
