Not playing tonight. Bought a piece of pizza, pack of cigarettes and a can of copenhagen and I thought a megamillians ticket.

Dumbass sold me the OK lottery ticket instead and I was in a hurry and didn't catch it until tonight.

I'm sure I would have won.

Lowest numbers I've ever seen. I'm sure it will be split between a lot of people

No winners. Next stop 1.35 billion

You statistics guys: if you eliminate sequential sets of 4 and 5, how many options does that eliminate? Getting rid of 1,2,3,4,5 and all power balls (I think 70) 2,3,4,5,6; 3,4,5,67 etc.
Then get ride of 1,3,4,5,6; 1,4,5,6,7 etc.

What does that reduce (or increase) the odds of winning?

Did that make sense?
