One of the more interesting (if obscure) coincidences connected with the 2008 U.S. presidential election had to do with lottery numbers in Illinois. On 5 November 2008, the day after Election Day, the winning numbers in that state’s Evening Pick 3 lottery draw were 6-6-6 — a string of digits traditionally held to represent the “Number of the Beast” as described in the New Testament’s Book of Revelation. When one considers that the winner of the previous day’s presidential election was Barack Obama, who began his political career in Illinois and represents that state in the U.S. Senate, and who was the subject of a spurious election year rumor positing that he matched the Book of Revelation’s description of the anti-Christ, well … it might all seem a bit eerie.
