I had like 2 of the numbers, LOL.

I could have still won a smaller prize, I'll have the lottery machine check it tomorrow.

y00ycdz - I bought 5 PowerBall quick picks with PowerPlay, how do I know what the PowerPlay factor is?

I missed the powerplay # when I watched the drawing... but it's up on www.powerball.com now and it shows tonight's powerplay # was 3 ... so x3 any amount won if you got a powerplay. That is, any amount won other then the jackpot :)

Ah ok didn't know that ... but let's say even if I won the $100,000 x 3 powerplay = $300,000

I couldn't retire for life but I'd be VERY happy.

My family didn't win but I hope someone from our store won :) Retailers in PA get 1/2 of a percent of the jackpot so that's about 1.25 million minus taxes. I hope it's still the 1/2 % because someone told me the other day they capped it at $400,000 being the highest a retailer could earn, but if that's true, they must have changed the policy very recently... but hey, i'm not gonna complain about $400,000, its still free money that I'd be very happy with :)
