Lost Fans' Mega Millions Payday

One more for the Lost conspiracy theorist. On the television show, the character Hugo “Hurley” Reyes played the numbers 4,8, 15, 16, 23 and 42 and ended up winning the $114 million jackpot in the fictional “Mega Lotto Jackpot.” Last night, reality came pretty close to fiction: The $355 million Mega Million jackpot numbers were 4, 8, 15, 25, 47 and the “Mega ball” was 42. According to the Mega Millions website, 41,763 matched those four numbers, earning $150 each. Although there’s no way of knowing how many of those people played the numbers because of Hurley, Lost Executive Producer Damon Lindelof tweeted his excitement after hearing the results.
