That's nothing.
The Pick 4 in New Jersey on August 8, 1988 was 8888. Figure the odds on -that-.

Eh, just thought about it, and I -know- some wiseass is going to come along and say "1 in 10,000".
Sure - the odds that the Pick 4 will have that day's date on any given day is 1 in 10,000. But consider that the date in question is the same number all the way across. Now, there's only about 11 dates like that in a given -century-... multiply that by 1 in 10,000, and now you start getting some pretty nasty odds :)

The odds are the same as it being any other possible number on any other day.
