Or she played the same 5 numbers with 2 different power ball numbers.

What was the jackpot? Isn't 1m jackpot for 5 numbers kinda high?

The jackpot isn't significant in this situation. With Powerball, if you match 5 numbers but not the Powerball then you win $1 Million.

 

[darkxshade]

so what's the winnings if you match 4 + the powerball rather than 5 without?

she meant to buy one Powerball and one Mega Millions ticket, but the mistake that earned her $2 million 😱

 

[Barfo]

nice for her

Let me see if I have this right...

Virginia, from Virginia, won the same prize twice on the same drawing.

Obvious glitch in the matrix, someone (or should I say something) messed up on data entry on that one.

Next time the mega millions goes over 500 million I'm going to buy like 5 tickets with the exact same numbers. I mean, if I'm not going to be a billionare it's pretty much a waste of time.
