I just knew this episode had a historic fact connected to it...."Pick Six"

One month before this episode aired in 1986, the Lotto was introduced to the public. That's what Mary was playing in this episode ;p;


I had a feeling it had something to do with that time in history

Did you notice the lady in the store in front of Mary was Aunt Esther? And Grady was on yesterday playing Mary's father!

^Seasons 1-4 are really good but season 5 is pretty awful but still somewhat enjoyable compared to today's TV.

227 is a good show and I'm enjoying the reruns. I saw "Grady" and "Aunt Esther" this week too..... and Billy Dee Williams! And I forgot that Pearl is such a hoot!

Good catch! I was thinking it was a spoof on these big dollar lottos that had multiple winners. If I am not mistaken, that has happened a few times in real life where the jackpot was split among the winners. I have to do some research
