The day after the election the winning pick-3 lotto numbers in Illinois were 666. Coincidence or warning?

What do you think? Verified by Snopes (http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/lottery.asp). Sure seems eerie to me.

Update:

Even if it's just a coincidence, it is pretty strange, dontcha think? And nope, I'm not a Republican. I voted mostly for libertarians in the election. Truth is, both parties are filled with corrupt self-aggrandizing elitists.

    Coincidence, but pretty amusing. The same link notes that on the first anniversary after 9/11, the winning NY lottery numbers were 911. There are a lot of coincidences out there, but even if it wasn't coincidence, I'd look at it as sign that even though Obama won, the devil is still around.

    The number 666 was the number of Caesar. It also symbolizes a condition that man kind Has been living under for a very long time . And that is the fact that no one can really conduct business with out going through government control channels -for tax purposes mainly . The ancient Jews resented paying taxes to Rome and Rome's control over them . Yet Jesus also said "GIVE TO CAESAR WHAT IS CESAR'S AND TO GOD WHAT IS GOD'S". I am not superstitious about the number 666 -The beast symbolizes the Nations of the earth -Like the eagle for the USA -or the Russian Bear.

    Hundreds of things come up 666 including the number 666 when you count to 1000. Let it go. President Elect Obama won this election fairly and if the world ends it's because it was meant to.

    Not because a black man became President of the United States.

    Oh yeah. The number 13 is not unlucky. Black cats don't bring bad luck and Rabbits feet don't bring you good luck.

    Just so you know.

    Pure luck. Mathematically speaking........666 has the same exact chance of any other 3 digit number coming up........and it bound to come up sooner or later, due to odds, that same way other numbers have come up on select dates.

    I remember a few years back.......911 was the daily number on the anniversary of 9-11 in New York Such things happen. It means nothing. Just coincidence.

    Coincidence - 666 was also the Midday pick on Oct 23, 2008.

    Coincidence.

    A sign that a republican demon might emerge, given that Obama was no longer going to stay on the job.

    Coincidence.

    Every day billions of random numbers are generated. Lots of them have to have "666" in sequence.
