BACK HOME, I'M WORTH $156,000,000:  If you played The Numbers in last night's Mega Millions lottery, you won $150 because three of the first five hit among the five balls picked, and 42 was the Mega ball.  (First five balls go 1-56, Mega ball goes 1-46.)  Apparently, this happens 1 in every 13,781 times, so just be patient if you missed this one.

  1. <span>Picking famous sequences of numbers is perhaps the stupidest way possible to play the lottery short of burning the tickets as soon as you buy them: the Hurley imitators would've been really annoyed if they hit the jackpot and had to split the grand prize 9000 ways.</span>

  2. No, they would have been amazed and delighted by the fact that, just like Hurley, their luck had shifted dramatically for the worse immediately upon winning the lottery with those numbers.
