Mega Millions Numbers and LOST

There was much buzz surrounding the Mega Millions $355M Jackpot last night.  Two lucky people, one in Idaho and another in Washington state, will be sharing the extremely large jackpot.  Aces.  The prize is the fourth-largest in the history of the US.  So about $177M each … cool. Glad my family won.

In any event, for those who Americans who watched the series “LOST” probably found the numbers eerily familiar.  Early on the show, viewers were introduced to a set of six numbers there were continuously repeated throughout the seasons: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42.  Eventually, we learn that those are the lottery numbers that character Hurley used to win millions in the lottery.  In the show, Hurley used those numbers to win a “near-record” sum – just as last night’s amount was a near-record.

Why are you telling me this shit, Zlata?

Well, last night’s winning lottery numbers were 4, 8, 15, 25, 47 and 42.  While not a perfect match, it has a very similar ring – especially in the first three numbers and the Mega Ball.  Mega Millions said that anyone who played those “Lost” numbers would have won $150 per ticket.

If that shit ain’t creepy – I don’t know what is!
