    As with most numerological claims, the 23 enigma can be viewed as an example of apophenia, selection bias, and confirmation bias. In interviews, Wilson acknowledged the self-fulfilling nature of the 23 enigma, implying that the real value of the Laws of Fives and Twenty-threes lies in their demonstration of the mind's power to perceive "truth" in nearly anything.
    From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/23_(numerology)

    Given that date and the Irish Examiner blob on the back page! What are people's thaughts. Did you play the lotto today using 2's and 3's?

    P.S. Is this the right forum for this thread?

    What has the lotto got to do with the laws of fives.


    Five in numerology and symbolism represents fifth dimension and the human body.

    The only thing I've noticed is that the lotto set usually includes at least three prime numbers. But since the greatest concentration of prime numbers exist in the integers between 1 and 100, definitely 1 and 49, and especially 1 and 10, I would chalk that one up to a perfectly random ratio of probability given the provided number set.

    Anything other than genuine probability is a function of having too much time to think.
