Fun with numbers

[Occhidiangela]

There was a particular day 4 and 44 came up a couple of times , so we put money on it for a bit of fun . My wife remarked how she had forgotten to take a lot of cash to the store this particular day . She gets to the till and gets a bill for £4.44 , she rooted around in here purse and was suprised to find exactly £4.44 , never thought nothing about it until later that day when she looked up at the clock and saw that the time was 4.44 . Then she tells me about the store , so I said ok , I'm going to put the lottery on using 4 and 44 for two of the numbers . Now I am not making any of this up when I say , we got 4 numbers out of the six and we won a share , ours being £44.44 . Strange but true .

Interesting, your numbers got me to thinking.

Two weeks ago I played the Texas lotto and got 4 of six, winning about $110 dollars. The numbers I used were my kids' ages, and the age I was when each was born. Add my dog's age and a bonus number, and pay a few bucks when filling up with gas. I play these numbers every few weeks.

After your post, I went back and looked at the card I usually use. I rechecked the lottery results.

I missed the bonus number and the fifth number, which having gotten correct would have won me a cool 17 million dollars, by a total of 42 (34+8). If Douglas Adams weren't already dead, I'd be tempted to give him a piece of my mind. ;)

Maybe I ought to go back to shooting craps, instead of shooting the bull. Vegas, here I come.

(Now, to convince Mrs Occhi that this is a good idea! )
