Happened to me once too. I used to play the big game every week with the same numbers. one time i didnt buy a ticket and when i took a look at the winning numbers i thought i won the jackpot (cause i remembered the numbers by heart) I wanted to kill myself that day, but when i actually checked what numbers i always played it came out that i only would have won $5,000. I felt much better
Also, couple of years ago i used to play pick four and won twice in a short span of time. First time $2,500 and second $2,700. It was NICE. Even gave some money to parents to go on the cruise...
