"In the mid-1970s, a man sought a ticket that ended in 48. He found a ticket, bought it, and won the lottery. When asked why he was so intent on finding that number, he replied, 'I dreamed of the number seven for seven nights. And seven times seven is 48.'"

Something tells me this guy did well by not taking math in grade school too seriously.

If he'd paid attention to maths, he wouldn't be playing the lottery.
