Ohhh the Irony

You kinda begin to wonder if they planned this.

yeah, I'd heard about that via SKy News. :| I think its some kinda scam. but then, I'm in a cynical mood. IF they did do this on purpose, it isnt funny, and its not clever. its immature, and disrespectful to the dead. (even tho Im NOT an american I still think the dead should be honoured)

Three balles, each can be one of 10 digits. Odds are 1 in 1000. Pretty low, but nothing extreme. Be interesting to see if many people played them though.

But then, you have to take into account that there is 365 days in a year....these chances are verry extreme.

Heh, I say it was rigged.

If Ziroc posts this thread again on 10/11/03 I'll believe its a conspiracy.
