Pensive...If you are as addicted to Lost as Richard and I are, then you will love this little tidbit about the last episode "Numbers"... it will make you think...
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.

Adding up 4+8+15+16+23 = 66 Add the digits of the PowerBall number 4+2=6 Also, read the Bible/Torah's Book of Numbers (4th book) 15 and 16 (Numbers <4> 8:15-16): 15 "After you have purified the Levites and presented them as a wave offering, they are to come to do their work at the Tent of Meeting. 16 They are the Israelites who are to be given wholly to me. I have taken them as my own in place of the firstborn, the first male offspring from every Israelite woman. The Levites were chosen by God to maintain the tabernacle in the middle of the wilderness and the different groups lived in tents surrounding it. Only the high priests were allowed to enter the tabernacle. People who were on the run for a crime could come to a Levite place for sanctuary and were spared. If they left, they could still be tried for their alleged crimes. However, once the high priest died, all of the people could leave and have their reputations restored. Could the hatch be a passage to a Pandora's Box or a Ark of the Covenant-type place?
16 as an overall number
Interesting how the transmission was picked up 16 years ago, but also how the lottery had not been won in 16 weeks...
4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42
8 & 15 ... 815 was the flight number of the place 4 people have been killed the french woman (chick) has been on the island for 16 years 42 survivors left what about the 23?
Numbers Numbers Numbers cont.
The passage from the Bible above also has something else of note: (Num 8:16) "I have taken them as my own in place of the firstborn, the first male offspring from every Israelite woman". This could be a reference to why they kidnapped Claire, i.e. in order to have her "firstborn" child.
Pandora's Box?
As Hurley's friend Leonard is being dragged away at the psychiatric ward, he yells out to Hurley that the numbers open "the box." He could have been referring to the box on the island, or maybe Pandora's box...
I didn't say it makes any sense, but its a fun read... Can't wait for the new episodes (starting with Episode 19: Deus Ex Machina) to start on April 15th.
