Powerball lottery officials suspected fraud: how could 110 players in the March 30 drawing get five of the six numbers right? That made them all second-prize winners, and considering the number of tickets sold in the 29 states where the game is played, there should have been only four or five.

Answer: They all chose their numbers from fortune cookies from the same factory in Long Island City, Queens. (The unexpected payout totaled $19 million for the second-place winners.)
