Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
I'm just glad it over. I was pretty sure I wasn't going to win, since I never bought a ticket.
From what I understand, with the newly restructured format of Powerball, with six numbers, this kind of Payout (and frenzy) was part of the plan.For the record, I have never played any of the other lottery options either.Besides the poor odds, I was quite turned off by the tactics used in the 1984 campaign to legalize the lottery here in California in the first place. The biggest fib was the implication that this new source of money would go to the schools in addition to present funding. Their slogan, in fact, was "Our shools win too!"
