I just read in today's paper that the 4-2-3-9 was hit 898 times in Ohio, with 98% of the tickets placed after the Big Game. The payout was over $2 million and they only sold about $350,000 in lottery tickets for that game!
Actually, it says that 98% were placed after 7pm, and the game ended at 7:13. The drawing, according to this article, was at 7:45.
Amazing.
