When you keep thinking that you have no luck. That's the results you will keep getting back every time.

It was the reassaurance from the fortune cookie message that really boosted his confidence in believing that he is lucky and would win. That's why some people have a rabbit's foot, a horse shoe, or a four leaf clover leaf that they think will bring them good luck. When in fact it, you already have it inside of you. Every single person does. You just have to instill faith in yourself and believe.

Some people would just ignore or think nothing of it if they ever came across a message like that.... [ More ]

I need to have my fortune cookies too, it might say something good today. He is so lucky to win the scraff off tickets. He needs to plan about his finances, because if he is not going to spend it wisely the money will just slip out of his hands fast and might be gone before he even knows it.

How'd you get a fortune cookie with Japanese food?

I got in a big brawl in a sushi joint one time about that very issue.

They told me only Chinamen give you fortune cookies.

I had Chinese food last night, and I got two fortune cookies. The fortunes have six numbers, so more then likely I will play them in the Powerball with the last number as the power ball number. Who cares if it's dumb luck as long as the jackpot check doesn't bounce.

Diluted winning numbers are BETTER than losing numbers.

Thanks for the tip. Someone had to choose those numbers and tonight could be their lucky night.

I remember that story. It's great for winning a lower tier prize, but if it matched the big jackpot, it would be divided amongst 110 people, diluting your winnings.

Fortune Cookies in 2005 made 110 players match 5 of 6 of Powerball. So don't give up

Some grocery store chains carry boxes of them. Giant carries them.

You probably could buy a box of them from the same place Chinese restaurants buy them.

They might be free with the meal,but you can bet no chinese person is going to give you anything for free.

There should be a law that sushi joints have fortune cookies too.

I got in a big fight about that one night.

They should have to bread all that fish and deep fry it too.

Man credits fortune cookie for $1M lottery win

William Johnson from Southwick, Mass. wasn't expecting much when he cracked open a fortune cookie last week after finishing dinner with his wife. You will soon come into a lot of gold, the slip of paper read.

While most of us would be inclined to dismiss the prediction, Johnson decided to do just the opposite. The following day, feeling lucky, Johnson bought a $10 Massachusetts Millionaire Mania scratch-off ticket and promptly forgot about it.

A few days later he encountered the scratch-of... [ More ]
