Lottery Group Thinks They Win Powerball Jackpot–But Had Wrong Numbers

Oh wow. This has to be their worst. day. ever.

According to Fox News, a group of lottery players from the Grissini Restaurant in New Jersey thought that they had won the Powerball jackpot of $949 million dollars last Saturday night. They had all the numbers right--however--and this is a BIG however--they  mistakenly compared Wednesday’s winning numbers to their Saturday ticket.

Somebody took video of their 'celebration'. So, here's what 'winning'--but NOT really winning--the Powerball jackpot looks like. The first video is painful but the second video is even more painful.

Lesson learned--DOUBLE CHECK YOUR TICKETS!
