UPDATE: Darn it, too good to be true. Sam Mellinger has tweeted the winning ticket and it appears as though the numbers were a ?quick pick,? meaning they were automatically generated (note the ?QP? after the number). ?Oh well. I guess it always was strange to think that a fan liked Mark Gubicza more than Brett Saberhagen.
10:30 AM: Not gonna lie. I bought a lottery ticket before that $580 million drawing the other day. This despite the fact that I am fully aware of the folly of doing so and the odds against winning. My reasoning is, at least when the jackpots get huge, that a few minutes of lottery fantasies are worth a buck or two. I?m not planning my life around winning a lottery and I don?t buy tickets that often, but it can be fun.
My problem, though, is that I don?t go all-in. I am aware of the randomness of it all, so I don?t pick my own numbers, I don?t believe any certain numbers have magic of?significance?to them and I don?t believe that any amount of?superstition will help me win. ?In light of this, however, I probably should re-think that approach:
One of the two?Power Ball winners is from Dearborn, Missouri, about 30 minutes North of the Kansas City Metro area. The winning numbers? 5 (George Brett),?16 (Bo Jackson),?22 (Dennis Leonard), 23 (Mark Gubicza), 29 (Dan Quisenberry), and the power ball of 6 (Willie Wilson).
After taxes and discounting for present value the winner likely does not have enough money to buy the Royals himself. But I bet he?ll find a way to spend his millions more effectively than David Glass spends his.
