Lucky 7s

I thought this was pleasantly odd today on the way to work:

Outside temperature gauge showed: 77 degrees
Total mileage: 7,777
Miles since my last fill-up: 17.7

That was a LOT of 7s. Not sure my day has been especially lucky... YET!

Someone is telling you something. Definitely do the lottery. I imagine you should play 7s.

Yeah, but don't forget that lone '1'. It might be significant. Or not.

That lone '1' will spell your demise.

I had a binary experience years ago. My milage was something like 10110, and the trip said 110.11. I didn't take note of outside temp. There were many others when milage was any combination of 1 and 0 under 11,111. I used to have my trip and odometer syncronized every 1000 miles.
