In an almost metaphysical coincidence that would have seemed over-the-top on the show itself, at least 26,000 fans of the ABC series Lost have won $150 each by playing three numbers plus the bonus number in the Mega Millions lottery that were used by the character Hugo "Hurley" Reyes at various times during the series. Two winners got all the numbers right and will share the $355-million jackpot. The lotto numbers were even selected in the same order in which they appeared on the show 4,8,15,25,47 and 42.
