Pa. Lottery Hits 6-6-6 On Election Night

In a sign that may concern some superstitious voters, the Pennsylvania Lottery daily lottery number for Tuesday night was 6-6-6.

The last time the Omen-like number hit was on April Fools Day in 2005.

The number hit at 7 p.m., one hour before polls closed in Pennsylvania, which is considered a key state in the battle for control of the U.S. Congress.

Triple 6s have hit a total of 14 times since The Daily Number drawing began in March 1977.

The biggest incident was in 1980, when Pittsburgh TV personality Nick Perry rigged the lottery to hit on the number 666.

Perry was sentenced to 7 years in prison for rigging the drawing and the incident was the basis for a later movie starring John Travolta.

Orange County, but there's a really bad part (Santa Ana) in the heart of the district.

I'm new here, but are you people all into pseudoscience?

Take some time out. Go to the store. Buy yourself a sense of humor.

Please, not all of us here in Pennsylvania consider this an "appropriate number for PA." Firing Rick Santorum was NOT "my" idea!!
