. . . some people don't even need a correlation! How does inherit = lottery? And for every time this happens, how many thousands of people play fortune cookie numbers and lose?

>_<

I think I'd be more confused if it didn't happen at all. It's bound to eventually happen.

Maybe this story is cosmically ironic. See, those two guys, they actually killed someone for that fortune cookie, thus getting the fortune, inheriting both prophetic words and lotto numbers.

You know, one time I got that same fortune and the next day my paycheck from work was direct deposited in my account.

I'm sure you godless liberals would try to use your biased reason and understanding of probabilities to show how this is just a coincidence but I know better.
