>Like I'd ever have a chance now of convincing her it's not just luck. We all know how scientific the lottery is, I mean that is just a given. :) But horoscopes on the other hand are inaccurate - and it is obvious from your story that the horoscope people simply made a mistake. First they applied all the same mathematical operations that are used here to obtain that winning lottery number - then some idiot went and printed it on the wrong day! :) That should convince her!

Florida lottery winners indicted on tax chargeReply
