Typically there are less than 10 people who come second in the Powerball, but in 2005, there were 110 second-place winners for one Powerball drawing who all attributed their luck to a fortune cookie. The Powerball company were originally skeptical however, no foul play was involved. Wonton Food, a Chinese fortune cookie distribution factory in Long Island City, Queens, happened to foretell five out of the six winning numbers. "We are so excited," said the president of the cookie manufacturer. "I knew people took our lucky numbers seriously. It shows that they really do tell fortunes, and we are happy so many people have benefited." Each winner took home between $100,000 and $500,000.
