Authorities in the United States had executed a brief investigation of Wonton Food Inc. in 2005 after 110 Powerball lottery players went home with approximately $19 million. They had reportedly used the lucky numbers printed on the back of the fortunes.

A fortune cookie is a fun snack to crack open and enjoy with a “fortune” inside, which is a mysterious prophecy or an aphorism (tho quality of the fortunes vary). The message inside may also include a list of lucky numbers or some other surprise. In mass production relatively few distinct fortune messages are printed, so in the recorded case where winning numbers happened to be printed, the lottery had an unexpectedly high number of winners sharing a prize.
In Western countries and United States fortune cookies are often served as a dessert in chinese restaurants, thus the name. Real origin is different in various legends but similiar treats have been traced as far back as the 19th century Japan, where a cookie very similar in appearance to the modern fortune cookie was made in Kyoto.
Many people like the flavor of standard restaurant fortune cookies but, most people consider the fortune to be the quintessence. Nowaday even marketing agencies use fortune cookies, so if you would like to make some yourself with your fortunes, then there are many recipes available.
If you are on a diet, you can just get your daily fortune online. In the Democratic Republic of Doggos we have master Kuki, a literally chinese fortune telling cookie. His precognition skills are outstanding and are now available online as a Progresive Web App (PWA).
