  Check out my winning ticket from Mega Millions on Friday!  The drawing results were 08-17-25-28-53 + 01; check out the middle line.  Also, check out where the missing #28 is!  (One number away from $250,000, oh well.)

  Interesting also is the groupings of numbers, showing that the QP generator in the NJ lottery machine is not all that good.  Getting a 3+0 and a 4+0 on one ticket defies the odds, yet here it is.  Right now I'm loving that faulty Quick Pick RNG!

  Yeah, I just want to push that 28 up one line!  At least the ticket is worth $157 - not too shabby.

  Congratulations, Todd!

  I wish you could have got rid of that last digit 4 out of 14 in
  the last column, leaving just tenth digit "1" there, as well. I think it still looks good.

  Better luck to you for next Tuesday night drawing!

  Thanks!  It's always fun to post an image like that.  As Lotto Mike mentioned, I was able to do that once before earlier this year, with the same thing - one number away.

  Way to go Todd...

  What does MM pay for 4 of 5?

  I've only played MM once in Ga over the last 2 years. Either way it's nice to get a win..:)

  If it weren't for Vtracs and STXS where would we be?
