Many people get a lot of the numbers right from a winning lottery ticket, but few come this close.
A Denver family missed the $61.9 million Powerball jackpot Wednesday despite guessing all five numbers and even the Powerball number — it was just on the wrong line.
“Man, just one line away from the big one!” said Chris Baca in a Colorado Lottery news release.
He and wife Dorothy still made out pretty well.
Because the Powerball number was somewhere on the ticket and they chose the “Power Play” option, they doubled their earnings from $200,000 to $400,000.
“We still gotta work,” said Baca, a remodeling contractor. “But maybe I’ll be a little pickier with the jobs I take.”
