The ticket matched all five first
Can you imagine having a ticket in your pocket worth $1 Million, then losing it? Someone out there purchased a quick pick in El Paso back in January and either lost it or forgot about it and now, that winning million-dollar ticket is about to expire. Chances are slim that anyone around here made that purchase but you never know. If you were in El Paso back in January... just saying.
Most people think their chance of winning the Powerball® jackpot is nearly impossible. Even though they are very high, about 1 in 292 million, the odds of building a perfect NCAA basketball bracket are even higher at 1 in 9.2 quintillion, or 1 in 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to be exact.
