If I were Filthy Rich
By iFailedPreK+24 What's the Most Matching Numbers You've Gotten in Mega Millions, Powerball, or Super Lotto Plus? Or any other lottery?
Hey everyone,
I wanted to ask: how many matching numbers have you gotten while playing the Mega Millions, Powerball, or Super Lotto Plus? Or any other big lotteries—just name it!
For me, I recently matched 3 numbers out of 6 in Powerball and won $8, which honestly feels pretty lucky when you realize the odds of that are 1 in 580 (or 0.172%).
But man, winning the Powerball jackpot? That’s just unimaginable—those odds are 1 in 292,201,338, or 0.000000342%. Like, how do people even process those numbers? It’s wild to think about.
Let’s hear your stories—anyone here matched more than 3 numbers? Maybe even gotten close to the jackpot? I’m curious to know! 😊

+17 @LittleTwo517 When I first turned 18 I hit 5 of 6 on Texas lotto worth about $10k if I remember correctly. I didn’t know 5 of 6 paid because my mom just told me to buy a ticket because it was my birthday. A few days later my mom asks about it and I tell her how unlucky I am to miss the 6th number and she informs me I threw out a $10k ticket.
