Finders, keepers: You may have heard of the woman who lost the $162 million lottery ticket. You may have then heard that it was found by someone else and presented for payment. As you can imagine, the original purchaser isn't going to take this lying down. As proof that it's her ticket, she had filed a police report. The police say that is nice but irrelevant as the ticket is paid to the bearer (absent evidence of theft). She supports her contention that it's her ticket by describing how the numbers are of particular importance to her as follows:

12-18 is her son's birthday. 32 is her other son's birthday reversed. 36 is year her sister was born. 49 is her husband's age. 21 was picked for luck.

Little does she know, the ticket is actually mine. Want proof? 12-18 are two even numbers. 32 is also even. 36 once again, even! 49 is odd, but it's one less than 50. 21, when multiplied by itself, results in a square number. Don't like that? How about this: 12-18 are separated by the number 6. 32, when the 3 and 2 are multiplied together equal 6. 36 has six in it for god's sake. 49 is the loneliest number that you'll ever hear. 21 is the name of a popular t.v. show (after you subtract 3). I rest my case, Your Honor.
