I'm trying to compile a list of TV shows where someone wins the lottery and what the winning numbers were. So far I only have a few, please feel free to list the ones you know. If you also know what the winning numbers were, please list them too.

Mama's Family: 3-6-10-12-19-30
Roseanne: 1-2-3-4-8-36
Lost: 4-8-15-16-23-42

227: don't know the numbers
Hangin' with Mr. Cooper: don't know the numbers

You can add Good Times to your list of shows featuring a lottery win. It's the 4th season episode "Rich Is Better Than Poor...Maybe" in which JJ has a winning lottery ticket. I don't know what the specific lottery numbers were, but I saw that the episode is posted on youtube if you want to find out what they were.

The Golden Girls won big on a lottery ticket.

Just found that lottery episode of "227" on YouTube, and the number was 35-19-34-24-8-36.

Are you planning to play all those numbers on the lottery? ;) - lol

Also, in the "Thief Swipes Mayor's Dog" episode of Early Edition, Gary wins the lottery- of course, he had the winning numbers from getting tomorrow's newspaper today.;) But he did it to expose a lottery scam, not for financial gain. (Since he didn't take any of the money anyway.)

No---I just think it's fun to document these kinds of things.

That's cool- I was just kidding. (And I don't advocate playing the lottery in any case- for one, I don't believe it's Biblical to gamble and for two- seriously, you have a better chance of being struck by lightning than winning the lottery.)

There are a couple of episodes of shows that come to mind where one character was tricked into believing they had won the lottery- are you interested in those instances too?

(Geoffrey on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" comes to mind. Also, Joey on a "Full House" episode.)

"Martin" won the Lottery once. But, unfortunately, so did about 5000 other people; so his take was ridiculously small. . .

House of Payne but much like the storyline on Martin and 227, there were multiple winners so the Payne family didn't get very much.

Webster: The Papadopolis family won...until Katherine lied about one of the numbers (I think). I could be wrong regarding the logistics.
