Yes, it would have been nice if the lottery winner posted all six of his numbers that was on his fortune cookie slip but he was not obligated to do so. The story was posted just to let everyone know that, yes, one can win the lottery using numbers on the back of their fortune cookie slip. That was the nice and or do the right thing as you put it

I do agree with all that you have said but more often than not, most people who buy/get fortune cookies do not use the numbers on the back of the slip for their lottery numbers. They break the cookie open and read the fortune and throw the slip away with the cookie, sometimes eat the cookie...Everyone who eats fortune cookies do not play the lottery...

he does not want anyone else using his full set of numbers

Then he should stop playing numbers he got from a fortune cookie, because a lot of other people got cookies with the same set of numbers. The only question is how many people played those numbers, and for what game(s). There's a pretty good chance that other people also won the same prize but either they didn't tell the lottery how they picked their numbers or the lottery didn't think they needed to have a press conference about it....

What we do know is the five numbers that are on the fortune cookie slip are:8-22-32-58-(4) which was used as the ball number. I am sure the guy would not want to reveal the remaining number on the fortune cookie slip because he does not want anyone else using his full set of numbers, just in case they do hit for the full jackpot, then he would have to share the prize with whoever else play his numbers.

Someone once bought a Powerball ticket and posted a photo of it online, showing that he/she... [ More ]

Myself and my Arizona LP friend each won $40 on that drawing for what that is worth! Powerplay rocks and you guys watch and see that X10 Powerplay won't come in rest of the year

The Powerball numbers drawn on Feb. 20 were 4, 8, 22, 32, and 58, with Powerball number 4.

Turns out Sorzano was feeling very fortunate with the numbers he chose to play. He upgraded his lottery ticket to a Power Play ticket for $3 and multiplied his prize ten times when the 10X multiplier was drawn.

Lottery player wins big after using numbers from a popular paper slip

By Kate Northrop

A fortune cookie lived up to its name after a Florida resident won a $500,000 Powerball prize in the North Carolina Lottery after using the numbers written on the back of the paper slip.

Ernesto Sorzano got to enjoy a nice meal consisting of his favorite take-out of shrimp and fried rice and an impressive $500,000 windfall to boot, thanks to the numbers printed on the little paper slip inside his fort... [ More ]
