Jamaica has a game called Cash Pot where they select a number between 1 and 36. I am not sure that they put the meanings up on the website anymore, but each number had a meaning (e.g. 5 was thief and 20 was sick person. )

If you search a Pick-4 number on the Malaysia Lottery's website, it will have a meaning associated with it. For example, my birthday (0104) is tiger-bone medicinal wine.]]> Hermanus104 http://www.lotterypost.com/reply-topic.aspx?td=2559764 http://www.lotterypost.com/news/246869/2559021 http://www.lotterypost.com/news/246869/2559021 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 16:30:13 GMT dpoly1 dpoly1 http://www.lotterypost.com/reply-topic.aspx?td=2559021 http://www.lotterypost.com/news/246869/2558349 http://www.lotterypost.com/news/246869/2558349 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 00:24:51 GMT Todd Todd http://www.lotterypost.com/reply-topic.aspx?td=2558349 http://www.lotterypost.com/news/246869/2558190 http://www.lotterypost.com/news/246869/2558190 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 23:12:36 GMT sully16 sully16 http://www.lotterypost.com/reply-topic.aspx?td=2558190 http://www.lotterypost.com/news/246869/2557631 http://www.lotterypost.com/news/246869/2557631 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 16:30:24 GMT Artist77

The original game of Keno had 80 characters of the Chinese alphabet - there are tens of thousands - it's said most Chinese never learn their whole alphabet.

Most people played their names.

Keno helped finance the Great Wall of China.

I can't remember where I saw it, but I've seen the figure mentioned in the OP, maybe in an old dream book.]]> Coin Toss http://www.lotterypost.com/reply-topic.aspx?td=2556470 http://www.lotterypost.com/news/246869/2556456 http://www.lotterypost.com/news/246869/2556456 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 19:22:54 GMT eddessaknight

That's La Charada, a system of associating everyday objects with numbers that has taken root in South Florida.

It's a Cuban tradition, said 68-year-old Juan Campos as he bought a Play 4 ticket on Wednesday at Navarro Discount Pharmacy in Pembroke Pines.

Pescada grande, he explained, is 10. Bicicleta is 52.
