There were two winning Mega Millions lottery tickets last night. These lucky individuals will be splitting $355 million dollars.
But way, that’s not the amazing part. Did you know that the winning lottery numbers were 4,8,15,16,23 and 42? That’s coming awfully close to the winning lottery numbers that Hurley played on the T.V. show Lost:
If you did happen to have played the Lost lottery numbers then you would have won banked $150. Not a bad take for aping the actions of a fantastic television character.
Oddly enough, following the advice of a fortune cookie can also result in a winning lottery ticket. In this particular case the Mega Number was also 42.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go finish up Douglas Adams’ (ghostwritten) final chapter in the Hitchhiker’s series…
Lost season four shipped this week. Unfortunately because of the writers strike this shortened season contains only 13 episodes instead of the typical 23. Lost is one of the finest network television shows ever created, and the best (only?) way to watch and truly enjoy it is on DVD. Free from commercials it’s an engrossing journey that’s nearly impossible to turn away from.
Included in the box set of season 4 is a faux Oceanic Airlines emergency evacuation safety card. As always, click on the images to enlarge.
For what it’s worth, Locke is my hero 
I haven’t seen season 4 before. In fact, I go out of my way to avoid any contact with Lost until the DVDs are released. Karin and I were enjoying episodes 1 and 2 last night when Karin noticed the following on the DVD covers:
With the plastic slip sleeve on you can see the entire cast...
With the slip sleeve off you can see everyone in shadow except Kate (who's holding Claire's baby), Sayid, Hurley, Jack, and Sun. Is this the Oceanic Six? No spoilers please, I haven't seen this season yet...
