One number off for 40 mil! (wasn't me or anyone I know)

Ticket bought at Elkhart store misses Mega Millions jackpot by 1 - Fox 28: South Bend, Elkhart IN News, Weather, Sports

I'd say 40.000 grand isn't a bad payoff for a $ 2 ticket. Every little bit helps.

That would still be the most disappointing 40K anyone could ever win.

Absolutely, well said. Not that it wouldn't be awesome to win $40k, but knowing you were that close to $40M would probably kill me.

My Dad missed hitting powerball by having one number reversed many years ago. I think he had a 23 and the number was 32 (or something like that). I think he got $1200 IIRC.

Again, I would die!

Y'all suck. Best I have ever done is 3 numbers on a line. I would be happy with 40K, but disappointed in missing out on 40mil.
