There were two winners for Tuesday’s Mega Millions lottery jackpot of $355 million, but the real story is about people who only won $150. More than 9,000 people played the famous recurring numbers from “Lost” — 4 8 15 16 23 42 — matching four of the six numbers in the actual lottery (4 8 15 25 47 42). “Lost” showrunner Damon Lindelof tweeted:
9,078 people played Hurley’s [lottery] numbers in the MegaMillions tonight, each winning $150. #THATSSORAVEN
(You know what else is so Raven? This GIF.)
This is a pretty cool coincidence, but I’m not going to get all excited and tie it in with mass bird deaths in Arkansas or anything. I mean, given a choice between $150 or not being a “Lost” fanatic, I’d take the latter — but that’s just because I’m flush with the riches of blogging.
Incidentally, $150 is just enough to buy the complete series of “Lost” on DVD. OH MY GOD, IT’S ALL PART OF LINDELOF’S PLAN!!!


I promise I wasn’t one of those people.
Just get it over with, Burnsy.
I won $3. Can I use it to have a shirtless Sawyer come hang out at my apartment? He’s not doing anything else is he?
Had all 6 numbers hit, and people took the cash option, each would have gotten only $23,000. While I’d love to have that much, it’s nothing compared to the $104,000,000 that the two winners are each getting because they didn’t pick like retards.

Oh, you meant Lost jokes, Patty?
I have what every successful lottery player has…a system!
Oh, no, I clearly meant masturbation.
Is $150 enough for each of them to buy a black-market gun and a bullet? Wait, better make it two bullets… I’m sure those people would miss the first shot of themselves.
This post should have spoiler tags on it! I haven’t checked my lottery numbers yet! Thanks for ruining it for me…jerks
Raven…Would so tear that up, chubb or no…
