Welllllllllllllllllllll, after checking a few times and realizing that the big one wasn't mine, I think the word Fudge would come to mind or something close to it.. I would then realize that I probably won some fairly serious $$ if I had only one number off...Now,if you are talkin' that 1 number was off on each of the 6 balls drawn??? I have been that close before with 2 numbers that were correct....and other times I was off by 3 or 4 numbers either way with 1 or 2 numbers correct. I have had 4 numbers correct once on the PB about 7-8 yrs ago but the other numbers were way off.

All in all,I would be pretty happy...

Either you match numbers or you don't. Coming close is just an illusion that fools people who think a ball labeled 3 has some sort of special relationship with balls labeled 2 or 4. The reality is that they're all just a bunch of balls that are only connected by being in the same hopper.

" One number off on each of the 6 balls drawn."

No CDT, that's a disaster in of itself. I was thinking more along the lines that you had the first 5 in the bag * a million or less after taxes, but it's the 6th ball you missed out.

Perhaps you chose "6" but " 7" came up. That's the " miss" l envisioned.

True Floyd, can't argue with that.

Can't remember ever being one number off so much. I do remember a few years ago I played 2 lines on Texas Lotto, which is a 6/54 game. I had 4 numbers correct on the first line and 2 numbers correct on the second line. I was excited and mad at the same time.

That's the closest I've ever got to a jackpot.

How would you react if you missed a massive jackpot by one number?

"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

300 million is NOT massive at all. You are really cutting yourself short. Do you have self esteem problems?

A massive JP starts at 667 million by my standards.

I can routinely win a 888 million dollar JP on a Sunday in Texas any week of the year!!

Are you related to " Prince of thieves " cause that's his MO. Easy winning.

The rest of your comment is oatmeal, vanilla. In other words, not worth a response to and yes- you not Bruce Lee or a reincarnation of said person.
