"1-5-4-9" sold out in NY lottery

Apparently there's a 5 million ticket limit on lottery numbers. Guess if 5 million people win, you don't get much.
FYI 1549 was the flight number for the plane in the river. 27 years ago another plane went into the water in DC, that didn't turn out as well.
 
The landing of Flight 1549 was being hailed as a miracle by many across the nation Thursday night. All 155 people on board made it off the aircraft safely after it plunged in the icy water.

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Yup. A miracle. AN AIRLINER DITCHED IN A RIVER!!!!!

A miracle would have been if it plunged into a nosedive, but instead of hitting the ground, it slowed delicately, and placed itself gently on the ground on its wheels.

God people are stupid if they seriously think that numbers are magically linked like that.

Or else all 5 million will crash their cars tomorrow. But none will be killed in the process. 😉
It's a miracle!

What I thought was funny were the quotes about how their survival was due to god's intervention, stuff like that. Maybe god should've just kept the geese out of the damn engine in the first place?

You get that for anything.
If a plane crashes, killing all but one person, he'll say that God was watching over him.

Or when that kid took his parents' car out for a spin so that he could get to school, someone said that the Lord was with him and everyone along that highway.

Clearly, God just likes fucking with people.

It sure didn't do much for the birds.

No, one guy bought 5 million tickets with those numbers. He doesn't really understand how the lottery works.
 
Confirming what we already know: Stupidity isn't confined to New York. It's everywhere.

Google for "1549 lottery." Lotteries in several other states have also sold out of 1-5-4-9.

lol. I've always thought the same thing when people have a really chance encounter (like falling off a building and walking away with no injuries) and then are like "oh i should go buy a lottery ticket, tee hee!"
 
IIRC, when Billy Martin died in a car wreck, pix of the scene showed the license plate. The numerical part got sold out on lotto that day.

..at the nudie bar!
 
What would have been funny is if the numbers actually came up for like 90 million dollars.
90/5 = 18
So if they took the lump sum they would get $9 each.

There is no annuity option on the pick 4. And I really don't think they're going to sell 90 million tickets for a daily drawing. Based on recent past drawings on the NY Lottery site, each person who bought 1549 would get at most $1. (Unless there is some minimum payout)

We had a similar conversation here. How many people have ever seen geese flying? Ever see those familiar v-shaped formations? Hitting a deer along the highway - that I can understand. "It came out of nowhere" = the deer wasn't on the road, wasn't visible, and ran out of a brushy/wooded area and got hit. Where on earth did the geese come from?

Pilot: "They came out of nowhere. One minute it was me and the clouds, the next minute there were all these geese."

Hero? He's the idiot who couldn't avoid a bunch of geese flying in a line.



Oh, and the 911 numbers drawn on 911... the odds were 1 in 500. Definitely not astonishing. When examining how many coincidences are possible, what would really be amazing is if we never experienced the occasional "incredible coincidence."

Try avoiding a deer on a highway while driving 500 mph in a city bus.
