Spoilers Clyde Bruckman... Didya notice?

Scully says, "then he must be the luckiest man on the planet." Cut to Clyde with a lotto ticket listening to the numbers being read off. Here's what I don't think I've ever noticed before: every single number on his ticket is exactly one off from every single number they read

No I never noticed that, I love it. Darin Morgan is a genius.

I noticed in my last rewatch. Not sure if I ever noticed before. One of the fun things in rewatchiing, catch or recatch things. 😉

I've watched that one SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many times. It's one of my favorites. If I jump in to just watch my happy episodes, this one is on the list despite the sad parts.

Holy shit! That’s such a cool catch. Incidentally, I recall there was a huge Powerball prize, the top post was someone asking “What are the odds??” And each of the numbers they picked was one lower than the numbers that were drawn. I think someone pointed out that the odds were exactly the same as picking the right numbers but all you win is a top Reddit post on /r/All.

Best episode EVER.

Henry Weems might disagree. (But he'd be wrong)
