Fortune Cookies Net Winning Mega Numbers

Mega MillionsMega Millions: Fortune Cookies Net Winning Mega Numbers

It pays to eat Chinese.

Three Virginians who had fortune cookies for dessert at Chinese restaurants they visited used the numbers they received to win $175,000 each in the July 27 Mega Millions drawing.

Sandra Howell of Moneta, Kiry Enn of Richmond and Raymond Sawyer of Chesapeake held three of seven tickets that were good for the second-place prize. The tickets matched the first five Mega Millions numbers, missing only the Mega Ball number.

It's the first time eating Chinese has paid off to that extent, according to a Virginia Lottery spokesman.

"We've heard of people using numbers from a fortune cookie, but never three big winners in one drawing," said John Hagerty, the spokesman.

The five numbers in the drawing were 08, 10, 11, 13 and 24. The Mega Ball number was 46.

    Im pissed!  A few months ago, i actually bought a BOX of fortune cookies, and im not talking  bout the kind you buy at any store.  This was the kind that was sold to chinese restaurnats.  Cost: about $15.OO for about 375? cookies. You'd think that i would of at least had some luck.  WRONG!  After opening (and eating) most of 'em, and catorgorizing them (some were repeats) i played 80 of them.  Only got $4.00 BACK!  After that, i was disgusted them 'em.
