Bought two lottery numbers on a whim,and the 2nd number won...
...only a consolation prize.
>.<
Well, $60 is better than nothing. This is my 4th time buying numbers in 2010, and about my 20th or so time overall.
Needless to say, it has been an overall loss-making venture, with the only other time I had struck any prize money was by playing Powerball in Australia during a previous visit there in November 2007, where I just managed to sneak into the lowest rung of prizes with a measly A$12+ win.
Guess how I got the inspiration to buy the 2nd 4-digit number that won $60?
By throwing four darts at a dart board.
(I'm not kidding)
Actually I did it twice for the second number: the last dart hit close to a bullseye, and I was torn between buying 8570 or rethrowing the darts.
When I rethrew the four darts, the first three numbers were,incredibly, the same 8-5-7, but the last dart registered '5' so I bought 8575 just in case.
Turns out that it was 8575 that came out in the consolation list!
