Sheeze. I thought I already explained what I was saying to CO. Yeah, it's verbose. No, it ain't poetry. Yeah, you might have to think a moment to get a bead on my point.But, it's worth it. Within that wordy piece of ambiguism lies the secret to what life's all about. The key to universal wisdom. It's only missing a single key ingredient to open up everything from winning at scrabble to nirvana.Trouble is, you have to have a fortune cookie to unravel it.Jack

CO:Those were some sure enough low numbers on that draw. Everything fit inside a month of days, so if it rolled, someone with a birthday dropped the ball. Fortune cookies go to high to catch this one.I need to check to see whether it rolled, I 'speck.Jack

Given the nature of fortune cookies, their history, their origin, their recent successes as lottery prognosticators, and that high number of 29, I'd say if someone didn't win (I haven't checked) the birthday buyers and license taggers must have stayed home. Fortune cookies wouldn't have stooped to this draw. Fortune cookie players have more class, more breadth of number expression, more depth of character.Jack

It may happen since the PB isn't one of the numbers from a WB, I think someone may win tonight.

I'm sorry to hear that. Things are probably bad enough in China without having to add something of that sort to the list of complaints those people must have about being Chinese. Particularly a Chinese person owning a japanese restaurant and having to invent fortune cookies all by himself, not getting any helpful feedback from his countrymen.Judging from the inscrutability of Chinese, however, I'm betting it happened during WWII or the Russo-Japanese War, and that the fortune cookie began as a...

Some Fortune Cookie Trivia: Did you know Fortune Cookies only exists in americanized chinese restaurants in North America? And that the inventor of the fortune cookie was a japanese restaurant owner. Fortune cookies does not exist in China. Small correction: They exists only as american fortune cookies! More info at: Wikipedia

I think it's very possible if the fortune cookies numbers a done with a rng program and it's the same program the lottery uses.

Don't know but i heard on the news the numbers that everyone played the last time it was won. They were hand picked numbers. Now the company that makes the fortunes says it will use a computer to pick the numbers they place in the cookies from now on.

IN GA it doesn't matter what the ticket says. You can take either one if you win, however, you have a certain time frame to change it.

Annual Payments — Sat, 07 May 2005 17:42:28 GMT

Whatever Cash! I just wouldn't on 1 or 2 million. You know what I don't like? When I went to GA and to CA, I didn't notice until after I got my tickets they all say Cash Value Option on it. That means while I was in CA, I only got 1 ticket that said Annual Payments on it. Let's say I would have won on one of the CVO's but I insisted on getting Annual Payments and my defense was the cashier didn't give me a choice and I didn't notice it until way after I bought the tickets...do you think the l...

I think if that happened it would be funny if one of the winners either didn't use a fortune cookie and picked their own numbers of got a QP.

Annual Payments — Sat, 07 May 2005 03:47:04 GMT

I actually have some fortune cookie numbers I'm gonna play on Powerball for this drawing. If me and 90 other people win so be it. In that case I wouldn't choose annual payments

but you still might be a second prize 100,000 winner though

ryanm — Sat, 30 Apr 2005 05:08:19 GMT

Yep, never use fortune cookie numbers if you're after the jackpot. You won't win enough to live off of the rest of your life even if you do beat the 135 million to one odds.

LOTTOMIKE — Sat, 30 Apr 2005 04:45:20 GMT

i'm guessing that before its all said and done that it might happen again but this time 90 people will split a jackpot........

Rick G — Fri, 29 Apr 2005 17:28:07 GMT

It just goes to show you that the messages and numbers in fortune cookies are mass produced and distributed in the same area. If you want to take a 135 million to 1 chance of winning with 100 other people splitting the jackpot.......then tonight it's Chinese, honey! It's Friday ain't it

It's very possible. You never know what numbers are going to come out of the ball machine. Who knows, maybe one day, we could see 100+ people split a jackpot
