Given how much I’d been musing about winning the lottery lately, it shouldn’t be a surprise that I went and got a few numbers for the-then $475 million dollar Powerball jackpot. Sure, with odds of like 1 in 300 million, it’s tantamount to burning cash in hand, but at the same time, you’ll never hit home runs if you never step up to the plate.
Regardless, I found myself in a position to tune into WSB last night right before the 11 pm news, as foolhardy as putting my hopes and dreams into a lottery could be, hoping to see any numbers on any of the sets of numbers show up on little ping pong balls.
The winning numbers for Wednesday’s drawing were 2, 11, 47, 62 and 63 with the Powerball being 17.
