You just win the lottery with these numbers? If not, can I use them for the next draw?

The Numbers
The numbers Hurley uses for his winning lottery are 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42. The flight number that the survivors crashed on has two of those numbers - 815.
Numbers 2
If you add all the digits of the numbers plus Hurley's worth in america ($156 mil) 4 8 1 5 1 6 2 3 4 2 1 5 6=48 which is the same number of the original survivors on the island.
More with addition and subtraction
If you add up the numbers, 4 8 15 16 23 42=108, and subtract that from Hurley's net worth (156-108=48), again, it equals the number of survivors.

whoa!

What's with all the repeats

Comments by ???:

The co-oridnates of Nigeria are somewhere in the numbers. I can't remember what, though

Comments by Willsburo:

I saw on another forum that the coordinates to nigeria take approximately 6 hours to arrive at on an airline from Sydney to LA. The planes cross directly over it. WEIRD!!

Comments by Willsburo:

Also, the coordinates are as follows: (4º8'15'' S and 163º37'18''W).

Comments by james:

Oh and if u subtract 5 from the total and add the number of planes crashed and the amount of sand on the beach you get the square root of the post office box of hobbit guys herion stash and also George Bushes phone number..blah blah..

Retards.

Comments by Ficus:

If you plug the numbers into mapquest's latitude and longitude search function, you're smack dab in the middle of Africa. In the Central African Republic, to be precise.
