In 2005, there were a shocking 110 second-place winners for one Powerball drawing who all attributed their luck to a fortune cookie. The folks at Powerball were suspicious (typically, there are just four or five second-place winners); however, no foul play was involved.
Wonton Food, a Chinese fortune cookie distribution factory in Long Island City, Queens, just so happened to correctly foretell five of the six winning numbers. “We are so excited,” said the president of the cookie manufacturer. “I knew people took our lucky numbers seriously. It shows that they really do tell fortunes, and we are happy so many people have benefited.” Each winner took home between $100,000 and $500,000, depending on how much they bet.
