The California woman turned on TV last week and thought she had the winning numbers in Wednesday's drawing. She won 360 million bucks, or not. She called the gas station where she got the ticket. They said she bought it an hour after Wednesday's drawing. It was still good for a future drawing. Bet that made her feel better.
