Josh Baskin put a coin into Zoltar Speaks in the movie “Big” and made a wish to be "big." After the machine dispenses a card stating "Your wish has been granted," Josh became big. Why not try to ask for you to win the lotto? Zoltar may grant your wish too. Locally you can find a Zoltar machine at Yesterday's Royal in Sylvan Beach.

The numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42 frequently recurred in the TV show “Lost”. The numbers formed the coefficients in an equation that predicted mankind's extinction (aka the "Valenzetti Equation"). Warning, these numbers can cause very bad luck. I played them playing Keno once and won $200 dollars, but then hit a deer on the way home.
