Only missed by 6 numbers

Okay I admit it, I played the Powerball Lottery last night and I donated $10 for 5 tickets and did about normal--I had no numbers correct--Zip, Nada, Zero--well you get the idea.

Now they pick 6 numbers and I had 5 tickets with 6 numbers on each ticket which gave me 30 possible chances to get one of the 48 or 49 numbers on the winning ticket.

With odds like this, if the Lottery was an airplane, I would not go anywhere near it.

It is fun to put in a few bucks and dream about winning and what you would do with the winnings, but really the odds are so far against you that anyone playing this is really just donating their money to the Lottery...
