---------------------------- Betting on numbers recommended in fortune cookies, 110 Chinese food patrons won between $100,000 and $500,000 each in a multi state U.S. Poweball lottery, organizational director Charles Strutt said yesterday. By the laws of statistical probability, there should have been only four or five winners among the 10 million ticket buyers but there were nearly 20 times that many. When the winners of the prize came forward to claim the prize, state lottery official had instructions to grill them, Mr. Strut said. The first hint came from Tennessee where the first three winners said they took numbers from fortune cookies - a story repeated across the country. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
