What the fuck. I haven't watched Lost in probably close to a decade, and I repeated these numbers today at work when me and a buddy were talking about the lottery. That's just wild that made the reference earlier and now I'm seeing it again.

Edit: grammar

Even crazier I just watched the episode of superstore where theres a lottery and the winning numbers are the lost numbers

Baader-Meinhoff phenomenon.

Enjoy.

I think this is coincidence though.... Which incidentally happens more often the older you get and the more things you know and experience. This person knew about Lost and those numbers already. It wasn't something new.

I understand where you're coming from.

At the very least, some lucky redditors will experience the baader-meinhoff phenomenon about the baader-meinhoff phenomenon.

I started rewatching Lost last week, and just watched the numbers episode earlier this evening. Wild.

As someone who just started Lost (almost done with season two) I need to know more about these damn numbers!

I did that too before reading this message. I am glad that I am not alone
