But what possibility of being selected two times in a row? What odds of winning jackpot two times in a row? It's virtually =0. So officials' decision doesn't seem that fair even statistically wise.
What about a bank error and the bank credits your account by 2 million...oops error...should you be able to keep the money....cause it is so sad for you to be a millionaire for a short time frame?

Life isn;t always fair...but the system has to be fair when a mistake is noticed....and that is what the Gov. decided and I understand your frustration as well as all other short time winners...but it is what it is.

They're sending emails to people who put an email address on their application form. Hopefully you did. If so, check the email address you provided, or your Spam/Junk folder in case it got in there.

I believe some techno-geeks can tell you how to go back and retrieve the information, from history or cookies or something like that, not sure what that's about.

Good luck.

Vichel, I thought of you as soon as I heard what had happened. I'll have everything crossed for you in July. You've got a wonderful attitude, I don't know I'd be so reasonable under the circumstances. Best of luck to everyone for July.

Thanks! We were completely shattered when we heard, we didn't want to believe it. But once it sunk in, we knew it had to be that way, that they had to do a redraw. So it was time to move on since dwelling on it wouldn't do any good or change anything.

Why do Americans hate government so much? Because their own is so nastily incompetent.
