This is what happened recently: "A record 110 players won $500,000 and $100,000 prizes in Wednesday's Powerball drawing, most of whom apparently used the numbers included in a fortune-cookie message. Ordinarily the multi-state lottery expects only four tickets to win at the Match 5 prize level."  Hey, we were going to eat the Chinese food anyway, why not play the numbers and try to win big! And if you win, remember to send me my percentage!
