I won $2 doing this on Valentine's Day 2009. I matched the first three numbers of Win for Life, but none of my other numbers came up.

There was the couple back east, I think in New York. they never played lotto but decided to one day because the jackpot was soooo big. So, what numbers to play they wondered. Wait, where is that fortune cookie numbers we saved 2 yrs. ago? The found it in their dresser drawer and played it and it won the jackpost!

This was several years ago.

The workers put numbers in a bowl and pick them. We are not going to do the bowl anymore; we are going to have a computer, Mr. Wong said. It's more efficient.

And so Mr Wong got a computer to pick the fortune cookie numbers and they haven't had a big winner since.

Good work, Mr Wong.

It's probably her on LP if you do a search for fortune cookie but there was a news story of people all over the country playing numbers from a fortune cookie and they hit one of the lower prizes, I think.

Joker17, remember that one?

So yes, people play them.

I don't bother looking at fortune cookie numbers anymore after reading my fortune the last time. The last one I read one was about 5 years ago and it said..... You're Screwed ....

I got in a big brouhaha one time in a restaurant over not getting my fortune cookie.

The cops that tackled me said something about sushi bars not having fortune cookies.

They should have a sign on the door then.

Bastages.

I've played 'em when I'm half in the bag.

Which is most of the time.

I believe a jackpot was won by a whole lot of people this way, but I can't recall the state, which is why I wouldn't play them.
