I'm sure those were ours.  I'll have to check in the morning, hubby is sleeping and I don't know where he put them.

Linda, I think I had those numbers, but ruined the ticket in the wash.
Darn it>>>>>>>>>>

The bad news is I didn't win the $200M, but the good news is no one else did either. We all still have another chance. News reports said they expect the jackpot to be close to $300M Saturday. That's hard to fathom.
If the jackpot does get that high, that would mean the winner (if there's only one) could give 1M to each and every US citizen and still have 15M to keep themselves. Of course, taxes and how they chose to take the winnings would lower those amounts quite a bit.

If that is an example of how you do numbers in your head then I can see why you are buying lottery tickets. You have no idea at all of the odds.

Microbes and Gravid - Thank you both for correcting me. Sorry and with a red face here. Guess $1.00 wouldn't help any one too much.
Micobes - Thank you for being so gracious in correcting me.
Gravid - Maybe you haven't seen my previous posts, gravid, where I have shared that I was not educated very well. Must be so nice to be so perfect.

Sorry I came down too heavy - you are correct I was not kind.
I should have been moderated or at least gotten a ruler across the knuckles.

Thank you gravid - I appreciate your comment, truly. In my zeal to 'share the wealth', I was not thinking. I certainly have no problem being corrected, so I hope I didn't come across that way.
That's one of the reasons I love reading and posting here at AW, I learn a lot. The issues brought up here also challenge me to do research and learn even more.
No need for any moderation, etc. It's just a touchy subject for me. Please accept my apology for my remark to you.

Not a problem - You learn proportions and I can learn manners. I have picked up a few good points here myself from time to time.
