Two draws of the Bulgarian national lottery at once gave out the same numbers, which almost completely coincide with the lottery combination from the cult TV series LOST ("Lost")
The drawing of the Bulgarian lottery was broadcast on national television on September 6 and 10, The Daily Telegraph reports. The numbers 4, 15, 23, 24, 25 and 42 were dropped both times, but in a different sequence.
Investigation revealed that the match was not a scam. The numbers from the second draw were guessed by 18 people, which is an unprecedented lot for this lottery. Each of the winners received a little over 10 thousand leva (about 5 thousand euros).
According to mathematicians, the chances of such a coincidence were one in 4.2 million. The panel of experts concluded that there was an "incredible coincidence."
Meanwhile, these numbers almost completely coincide with the lottery combination from the cult TV series Lost (in the Russian translation of Channel One - “Lost”).
According to the plot of the series, the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 were intercepted with a radio signal by two US Navy servicemen who were on watch in the Pacific Ocean. Soon one of them named these numbers and won a large sum of money. At the same time, misfortunes befell his family and loved ones. The soldier was sure that the curse brought him mysterious numbers. Several years later, he committed suicide.
His partner ended up in a psychiatric clinic, where he constantly repeated a mysterious combination. One of the patients, Hurley, who heard her, walked out of the hospital, entered into a lottery ticket and hit the multi-million dollar jackpot. However, soon he also faced the "curse" of numbers. Later, he gets into a plane crash and becomes one of the main participants in the drama unfolding over six seasons.
The numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 are also a code that must be entered into the computer of the Lebed station, thereby reducing the discharge of accumulated electromagnetic energy. After entering the numbers, the timer goes to the "108: 00" position, indicating the need to re-enter the numbers after 108 minutes (4 + 8 + 15 + 16 + 23 + 42 = 108).
