Has anyone here won or come close to winning the lotto

Just curious if anyone has ever come close to winning the big one...

No, I don't play. But I should. Someone has to win, might as well be me.

closest I was I got all six numbers (quick pick) in the Texas Lotto 1 play after those numbers where drawn.

6 numbers where drawn wed.
I bought a quick pick for the following sat. drawing, they where the winning number for the previous drawing.
I haven't played much since then.

I won some Marlboro contest last year. Pocketed $11,500. No idea what the contest was, how I entered, or what the rules were. They just sent me a letter one day saying congrats. Guess those last 2 or 3 years of being on their mailing list paid off.

My uncle got 4 numbers+ the mega on a $68M jackpot in California a couple weeks ago. He got $1394. The number that didn't match was one number off of the drawn number.

My dad ordered a new truck in '99. Nice loaded Ram w/ diesel and 6 speed. $34k truck. Planned on getting new wheels and a $3k all steel camper shell. While it was at the factory (4 months, it was among the first 6 speed trucks.) he won $37k in South Lake Tahoe on a quarter progressive slot.
