On March 30, 2005, there were 110 winners of the Powerball lottery. All of the numbers were picked from fortune cookies made by the Wonton Food Company. The numbers were 22, 28, 32, 33, and 39. The number 40 did not match the powerball number 42, so 89 were second place winners. They won $100,000 each. Twenty-one of them won the $500,000 because they did pick the correct powerball powerball number, 42. At first the officials of the lottery suspected fraud, but did find that the company had printed cookies with the correct five numbers. (Information from Wikipedia)
