You could leave out a couple of steps and make it easier.
1. Key in the first 3 digits of your phone number.
2. Multiply by 10,000
3. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number.
The other steps are just there for camoflage.

Geez. Y-O-Y do I get the feeling this is one of those "the lottery is for people who don't understand math" kinda things?
Now I gotta send it to all my lottery buddies before they send it to me. :)

Do you recognize the answer? Ummm, no. It looks like someone's phone #, but not mine.

Number tricks like this are just an entertaining way of using algebra.
Let x = the first 3 digits in your phone number.
Let y = th elast 4 digits in your phone number.
Then the steps can be written algebraically as:
[250(80x + 1)+ y + y - 250]/2
Simplified:
[20000x + 250 + 2y - 250]/2
Simplified further(the +250 and the -250 cancel each other out):
[20000x + 2y]/2
Simplified again:
10000x + y
As a previous poster stated, 10000x + y is the heart of the trick. The rest of the steps are added only to make it look mysterious.
