A Taiwanese man "lost his chance" to win the super lotto jackpot of TWD$590million (US$15m) on Tuesday.

The man was at the store, trying to buy a lotto ticket at 7.59.19PM, when the computer links shows "game is closed".

When he returned to the same store on Wednesday, store clerk noticed the number he picked, going to be used for Tuesday's game, is the exact number of the Tuesday's winning number.

When the man realized, he told the reporter that he couldn't sleep and eat afterward.

That's bad luck . Had that happened in the US, he could sue the store for not accepting tickets until 7.59.59PM .

I sorta know the feeling. About 10 years ago, I came the closest I have ever come to winning the lottery. I ended up with 3 of 6 numbers, but those three I missed were really close to my numbers. 2 of my numbers were 1 number off, and the other was 2 numbers off. I wasn't sick about it, just more along the lines of damn I was thisssssssss close to winning $7 million!
