It paid to be a Lost fan Tuesday night. That is, it paid $150.
Four of the six numbers drawn in the $355 million Mega Millions lottery matched the numbers immortalized by the Lost character Hugo "Hurley" Reyes, who hit a $114 million jackpot off them -- only to be haunted by the same numbers in later episodes.
Tuesday's Mega Millions numbers were 4, 8, 15, 25, 47 and 42 (42 was the Mega Ball number).
Hurley's numbers were 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42.
Unnerved watchers of the hit television show must have been left wondering whether the Dharma Initiative had a hand in the drawing.
If you played Hurley's numbers, you won $150, according to a payout table on the Mega Millions website, though the same table noted that fixed prizes such as the $150 one "may be paid on a pari-mutuel basis and (be) lower than" that amount.
