We are Ken Jennings and John Roderick.

We are receiving this message.

We are Ken Jennings and John Roderick. We speak to you from our present, which we can only assume is your distant past, the turbulent time that was the early 21st century.

Fearing the great cataclysm that will surely befall our civilization, we began this

monumental reference of strange and obscure human knowledge.

These recordings represent our attempt to compile and preserve wonders and esoterica that would otherwise be lost.

So whether you're listening from an advanced civilization or have just reinvented the technology to decrypt our transmissions,

this is our legacy to you.

This is our time capsule.

This is the omnibus. Oh, You have accessed entry 736. He 1,305, certificate number 32943..43 lottery winners.

And as you can see, the machine has been loaded with balls numbered from 1 to 49.

Let's now load up the drum.

Tonight, the Lotto jackpot is estimated at $2 million.

Fanny, if you push the button please,

wait for the first ball to drop and there it is the first one down is at 24 and then we have an 8 the third ball in the red column it's a 48 the fourth one dial is a 37 again tonight the estimated jackpot prize pool is 2 million dollars. We have a six for you. The final one down, the sixth number is a

45. That as per every one the one down is the bonus number and tonight the bonus is an 11.

I don't know if I've ever asked you this John are you now or have you ever been a

player of a lottery state or multi-state lottery-like game?

I never, I never did until a couple of years ago.

The first time I saw the Power ball or whatever go above $300 million.

So let me get this straight.

You had a number in mind.
