ONE NUMBER SHORT OF $20,000,000 FOR SOUTH AFRICAN WINNER!
A regular PlayHugeLottos.com customer took home a substantial win after last night's Powerball draw (10 February 2010). Johann T., a resident of Pretoria, South Africa, has been playing for quite some time now and has won a number of smaller prizes in the past.
When he logged on and selected 5-8-29-37-38 as his main numbers, and 11 as his Powerball selection, little did he know that within 24 hours, one of the PlayHugeLottos.com representatives would be calling him to make him aware that his entry would make him $200,000 (£127,966) richer.
His number selection matched all five of the main numbers drawn, and would have raked in $20,000,000 had his Powerball number selection matched the number drawn.
While this type of win has happened on a number of occasions before, what always interests us is the perspective. The customer holding the ticket more often than not is thrilled at their good fortune, while all those around them tend to bemoan the fact that the ticket was one number short of winning millions of dollars.
Would you be happy with a second tier win, or would you spend your days regretting the opportunity that could have been?

Maybe those that did not win are just jealous. Second tier or not, I am sure I could put $200,000 to good use! Congrats to your winner. Hopefully I will be next!

Denys.. just an update. The cleaner was trying to commit fraud, and has admitted it. He purchased the ticket the next day, using the previous winning numbers, in the hope of securing a bank loan.
