So Many Lottery Winners

Thursday, March 20th, 2008 by Alan Yu

I was just watching the news on how there is a lottery here called the 6/49 and in the last draw there wasn’t anyone who won the jackpot. Instead, 239 people got five numbers right along with a bonus number which qualifies for the second level of winnings.

That number sounded absurdly high and so out of curiosity I decided to see what the numbers were. Apparently the main numbers were 23, 40, 41, 42, 44, 45 and the bonus number was 43. So by looking at that it means that there was a possibility that 239 people literally chose the number combination from 40 to 45. Who would of thought huh?

Another funny thing was that there were so many people that won the second level prize that the money distribution would be about $1,993.70 for each person. Since in comparison there were only 106 people that got five numbers right those people actually got more as their winnings were divided to $2,223.40 each person.

I guess it is free money for them so no one is complaining, but I just thought it was such a strange happening.

The Moment of Truth Show

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008 by Alan Yu

So there is suppose to be this new game show debuting tonight called “The Moment of Truth” as a lot of people were telling me about it. Apparently, the way it works is that contestants are attached to a lie detector and are asked questions that could be embarrassing and even damaging to reveal. By telling the truth, the contestants can win money.

“The things people do for money” I was just thinking as there will be a lot of unhappy contestants even if they do end up winning money. One thing that doesn’t make too much sense to me is when it comes to the questions, what would be the point of lying anyways as wouldn’t not answering something automatically show that you are being untruthful to everyone? May as well just confess and win money as the truth will come out when you think about it.
