I have a TRUE lottery story -

When I was married, my husband played using our birthdates as the numbers (and his mother's, to make six numbers). About a year after our divorce, and after he was already involved with the woman who is now his wife, he was still playing, and still using the same numbers.

He called me and happened to mention that he had won about $100 using those old lottery picks. He had matched FOUR of the six numbers, his and his mom's birthdates. The numbers that did NOT come up were my birthdates. The missing numbers, that would have given him about $250,000 - the new girlfriend's birthdates!
