Last night’s Mega Millions winning lotto combination contained 4 of the 6 mysterious LOST numbers

Talk about mysteriously wicked news!  The January 4 Mega Millions drew the following numbers: 4, 8, 15, 25, 47, and 42 (the Mega Ball #).  Compare that to the mysterious Lost numbers: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.  Crazy I know!  Last night 41,763 people chose the four Lost numbers and they were awarded $150 each for their participation.  The generation-defining show has been off the air since May, but its closure will never stop fans from picking those numbers when they purchase lotto tickets.  The $380 million jackpot was reportedly split as follows: 323 people correctly guessed four balls plus the Mega Ball and won$10,000; 67 people matched the first four balls and won $250,000; and just two tickets, purchased in Idaho and Washington, matched all six numbers to split the massive jackpot.  As of today those winners have yet to claim their prize, but maybe that’s because they know how unlucky the numbers are.  Nobody wants to find one Tricia Tanaka dead tomorrow morning, now do we?

Lost producers Damon Lindelof & Carlton Cuse responded to the lotto Lost tie-in, and even actor Jorge Garcia (who originally picked the numbers as Hugo Reyes) humorously commented on it on his personal blog.
