On the one hand this means nothing. With how many people there are who play the lotto, having this happen has about the same chances as someone actually winning (which are very rare). On the other hand, this is one of the most crushing blows you can experience. Millions stripped away from you only because you were one number off. You might as well quit the lotto after that.
Every once in a while I'll buy a scratcher ticket with the hopes of changing my life. I swear to God, all I need is enough to pay off my credit card bill and I'd be happy. I don't need anything more than that. Someone, please send me money. LOL. Can you imagine if I got out of debt because a rich commenter sent me money? I could write an article about that.
