Since three of the numbers drawn last night were prime numbers and Beaker and I were salivating about dinner yesterday I decided to do a little research. I realize that this is old to many , but it's probably new to many also.
Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary defines prime as follows.
prime \'prim\ n [ME, fr. MF, fem. of prin first, L primus; akin to L prior] 1 : first in time : ORIGINAL 2 a : having no factor except itself and one <3 is a ~ number> b : having no common factor except one <12 and 25 are relatively ~> 3 a : first in rank, authority or significance : PRINCIPAL b : having the highest quality or value <~ television time> An integer greater than one is prime if its only positive divisors are itself and one (otherwise it is composite). For example: 15 is composite because it has the two prime divisors 3 and 5.
There are 15 prime numbers between 1 and 49.
They are : 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47
Here are the last 20+ draws back to the Day the 649 Lottery Died...June 2 , 2004 where at least 1 prime number appeared.

Kind of interesting, and the results are similar with each lottery game I looked at. Print out the draws and color code 2-11,13-29,31-47 with highlighters and it's even more impressive. Formatting here sucks or I don't have the expertise to do it.
