Yes I saw it as well. In the evening pick of the "Numbers" game, "911".

Synchronicity.

I read around the time when that other plane crashed near the Rockaways on Long Island, NY after 9/11 last year - the plane's number came out that afternoon and evening in the New Jersey lottery.

Somehow the coincidence seems obscene, like profiting from a disaster. IMHO, of course. (Maybe I'm being overly sensitive.)

I just hope a FireFighter or Policeman won tonight ...

Draheid, I hope to God that did happen.

Not only did the flight number come up but it came up in the midday drawing and the evening drawing on that day. 587 in one and 578 in the other, creepy, only thing that would make it weirder is if it came up in the NY lottery that day.

Sometimes when a number is being played too much they suspend sales on that number, wonder if that was the case with 911 today.

Of course....it BEING 9/11, and the anniversary that it is, I'll bet that hundreds of people (at least) picked those numbers, so they would have to share the prize, right? Might not be so big after that....

Curious as to the mathmatical likelyhood of this - I mean first just the basic math and then...

anyone here a statistics freak (I'm sure there will be some stats on this within days on the net but I'm curious now...

I still haven't quite recovered from finding out today that the one flight out of the 4,500 flights they had in the air at the time - that the controllers had check on flight 11 was flight 175...
can't believe I didn't know that

New York lottery winning numbers: 9-1-1
September 12, 2002 Posted: 12:21 AM EDT (0421 GMT)

ALBANY, New York (AP) -- On the first anniversary of the terrorist attacks, a date known as 9-11, the evening numbers drawn in the New York Lottery were 9-1-1.

"The numbers were picked in the standard random fashion using all the same protocols," said lottery spokeswoman Carolyn Hapeman. "It's just the way the numbers came up."

Lottery officials won't know until Thursday morning how many people played those numbers or the total payout, she said.

For the evening numbers game, the New York Lottery selects from balls numbered zero to nine circulating in a machine at the lottery office. Three levers are pressed, and three balls are randomly brought up into tubes and then displayed.

Some more synchronicity?

Traders puzzled by eery 911 closing of S&P futures
Wed Sep 11, 5:32 PM ET
By KRISTINA ZURLA

CHICAGO - In an ironic twist, the September Standard & Poor's 500 futures contract closed Tuesday at 911.00 — a day before the one-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks.

There was some buzz on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange stock index futures trading floor Wednesday about why that happened, but there were no reports of collusion or price-fixing.

"It was bizarre, it was strange, but it wasn't manufactured," said Richard Canlione, vice president of institutional financial futures at Salomon Smith Barney. "It was just the rules of coincidence ... That's just where the market was."

"It just proves the market God was with us, remembering the day, too," said one CME trader.

The start of trading was delayed Wednesday in honor of those killed in the attacks.

Market players noted prices were already moving higher throughout Tuesday after two prior up days, so it wasn't as if an abrupt change in direction took place to achieve the numerical equivalent of Sept. 11.

Some thought perhaps suspicious activity could have taken place, but most brushed it off as a "patriotic rally" and didn't see the harm in it.

"I'm always kinda paranoid, and I find the fact that we settled there kind of eerie, but I don't think we should dwell on it or read too much into it," said Tim Haefke, a stock index futures trader and president of Top-Notch Trading.

The futures contract is an obligation to buy or sell a basket of stocks composing the Standard & Poor's stock index at a set date for a fixed price.

I remember "The Mom" telling me something like this before, where the number "2002" came up in a lottery on New Year's eve or something..

It makes me wonder, I know they say these things aren't planned...but...it makes me wonder...

Just saw on the news that 5600 people chose "911" in yesterday's NY lottery pick3 game... and won $500 each.

What I mean by the statistics...is what are the chances of a given # coming up on a given day

312 coming up on 3/12 and so on...

I mean there is more to it then that 9/11 is the most significant day in a very very long time and for it to come up on THAT day you know is pretty amazing...

I love statistics always have but not good at figuring them OUT ...I bet someone is :)

For example the chances of 911 coming up are 1 in X

the chances of 911 coming up on 9/11 are X

and so on and so on and so on...lol
