Using "the Numbers" for the Lottery

[HandsomeLlewellyn]

I'd like to see a show of hands here...

Who, besides myself, has played "the Numbers" religiously every single drawing since Hurley won the Lottery?

Here in Michigan, I use them for the Mega Millions on Tuesday and Friday and the Classic Lotto on Wednesday and Saturday.

I often wonder how many ways the money will be split if and when they do fall....
I can see it now..."Here's your check for 12 dollars, Sir."

I played them once for the heck of it in the Power Ball Lottery here in PA - and got nothing - but I tripped out the door after I bought the ticket. Coincidence?? I think not!!!! The Numbers are cursed man!!!! ;D

[HandsomeLlewellyn]

Yeah, cursed.......they won't let me win!!!!

No offense, who is crazy enough to play those numbers?? Did you see what happened to Hurley when he played those numbers. Soooo not worth it.

I played them on the lottery here in Florida recently when the lotto was 36 mil.

Didn't win of course

Something else I do alot is go to china buffets and the like and look at the lotto numbers on the fortune cookie's fortunes. The closest I have found is 3 15 16 23 31 42 and its taped to my computer screen here at work . Hope is still alive that I will find the cookie with the numbers in it, and the fortune will explain what they mean!!!!!

Hey, this would be a great gag to play on LOST friends at lunch.
Order custom fortune cookies, take the friends to a chinese restaurant,
and get the management to switch in the custom cookies.

Jacob needs your help. Lucky numbers: 4-8-15-16-23-42

That's the closest I've seen them come so far!
