I've split a lot of wishbones, probably scored the winning half about half of the time.
My loved ones remain safe but I haven't won a fortune yet.
I suppose I'd have to say my research into the efficacy of wishbone wishing is inconclusive so far.

Maybe you'd have better luck in the lucky fur hat.

I really just want to punch this guy in the face. It's okay to believe in luck, but when you get down to it, the lottery is about chance. You know, 2nd grade fractions? 1 in 12 with win..blah blah.

I just face palm.  :-\

I'm not sure about this lucky fur concept, not when the fur was so obviously not lucky for the original inhabitant.

It would have only been a miracle if they had won the Million dollars without ever buying a lottery ticket. Granted the odds would be very low that they would win on the one day he prays to a god he doesn't believe in, which leads me to think he prayed to this god a bit more than he wants people to think.

Please, it's just convienent that God would chuck a  mil at these people when children starve, living in the slums.

I agree though, that this guy was probably never really an athiest.
