That's right! No big winner tonight so the jackpot rolls up to an estimated $944 million! That's a huge jackpot and just may make it into the billions before the next drawing! Using $944 million as the jackpot, that gives the winner $429.4 million in cash if they opt for the cash value. That's not too shabby at all! For a little laugh, I got all excited tonight when I logged on to check my numbers. I thought I had matched two numbers plus the jackpot number to give me a $10 win. But when I logged back in I noticed that I had checked my ticket against Tuesday night's winning numbers. Dang, I thought I was getting reimbursed for a couple of tickets! I only matched one number so not a win at all. Did you have a ticket? Match any numbers? Photo Credit: Pixabay, Public Domain

I won $2 in the Ohio Classic Lotto. The payout right now is only $950,000. Have a good weekend.

I think the most I have won is $10 and that was only once. I have won $4 and $2 a few times. It's time for a big one now!

@LindaOHio Play another game with a big jackpot like Mega Millions. It is likely to be in the billions at drawing time Tuesday night.

@kareng I have been playing the same numbers in the Ohio Classic Lotto since 1989. The most I've won was $70. Someone won, so it starts back over at $1 million. Cash payout is $500,000. Not enough after taxes to keep my husband in long term care!!!!

I had a ticket. It was a loser. lol. Oh well. On to the next one. I want to win the $944 million, but at the same time, it's always fun to see the jackpot climb into the billions. I will always play. I mean, the odds are terribly against you, but even worse without a ticket, so...I'll hand over my money for at least a chance.

@porwest Same. I am going to pick up a pick 5 Mississippi ticket for next drawing though. I have never played that one and we have had several good winners the last 4-5 months. Gotta shake things up!!!

I rarely get two tickets. I think I may have to for this next drawing!

@kareng I am more likely to get more than one when the jackpots get really big.

No ticket for that. I just wait until every other Thursday to check the ones I do buy.

You should get one with that jackpot. I bet is over a billion for next drawing. If not, very close!

It's so easy to get all excited about these huge lotteries. But not too many win much at all I guess.

@kareng Thanks for the link. I know the odds are horrendous but, as they say, someone has to win it.

Last week I was at the liquor store and happened to have cash so I bought a Powerball and MegaMillions ticket. The other day I was there again and I checked them. One was a $4 winner so I bought one of each again. Guess the MegaMillions one was a loser. Oh well. I'll have to get cash to get another one for the next drawing.
