+34 I matched 4 out of 5 on Cash 5 and I’m disappointed

I won $300. If I had matched the 5th number, I would have won $300,000 (my state’s Cash 5 is rolling). I’m glad I won something, but I’m also heavily disappointed that with 1 more number I would have had a life-changing amount. Any words or advice to help me feel better? :/

+17 @ohioAf If the numbers were autopick I'd be happy with the $300. If I was playing my own numbers I'd be devastated for a couple days, tell as many people as possible how close i was to winning and why I'm so upset over "only" winning $300 when I could've won $300,000. I know exactly how you feel, I hit 4 of 5 on our rolling cash 5 when the jackpot was $420,000. I missed the last number by 1, which means nothing statistically, but it made it hurt more. 3 people hit 5/5 on the next jackpot the day after so had I matched all 5 I would've been the sole winner of $420,000. It was 18 years ago and I'm still salty about it.
