Just got home from my Freeper Son's house and he said on the night of the election

[babsbunny]

the Chicago lottery numbers came out "666". Does anyone know if that is true?

1. Sounds like a freeper urban legend to me

[Dogmudgeon]

2. Mostly true

But, big deal.

It's the same odds if it came out 777, 999, ... or 238.

3. He's wrong

It was the day after

[plaintiff]

7. Yeah but that doesn't make for a good tinfoil nutbag story, does it?

:rofl: :D

12. Freepers like to make up stuff to feed their fear

They live in fear, and that's why they loved Big Brother Homelanderism, as opposed to America.

They are sad and afraid that their totalitarian Homeland is going in the crapper, so America can be restored.

4. Not election day, the NEXT day

5. If it did, good for those who picked that triplet . . .

otherwise, it's meaningless.

6. There's no Chicago lottery, but the Illinois lottery came out 6-6-6 on Wednesday evening.

Not Election Day itself.

8. Unless I'm very much mistaken, Chicago doesn't have a lottery.

Illinois does, but not many (if any) cities have their own lotteries since it would be up to the state to allow it and then the city to enact it. Doesn't seem very practical.

A bigger question is why your son is lying to you. Maybe you should ask that.

9. Yes. From the Illinois lottery website:

From http://www.illinoislottery.com/subsections/History/Win2008.txt which is the archives for winning numbers.

10. Yes, but they also came out 6-6-6 on December 25, 2004

12/25/2004 Evening Pick 3 6-6-6

Hmmm. Ask him what he thinks about that.

[FormerDittoHead]

11. Brought to you by the same thinking running the gov't for the last 8 years...

GOD, I'll be glad to get rid of these idiots...

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. I heard that too

But I heard it was the next day, Wed.

[NAO]

14. When it was called, Obama had 333 and McCain 156 electoral votes

Now 333 is half of 666, that is obvious.

But 156 is the number of Babylon. By gematria, Babylon sums to 156, which is the number of squares on each of the elemental Enochian tablets of Dee and Kelly. The Great Whore. The Scarlet Woman who rides on the back of the Beast. Sarah Palin, IMHO. Just check the Biblical description:

Revelation 17:3-4
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast (red being the color of the Republican Party), full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls (referring obviously to the shopping spree and the extravagant wardrobe), having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations
