- Where my parents come from, you buy Illinois lottery tickets but the TV there all comes from St. Louis so you could only see the numbers for the Missouri lottery.
- Pepap says Grandma Eunice has a lottery number that she chose herself and wrote on a scrap of paper and put in a drawer somewhere in the Gegel ranch. Then, every day she watches the (St. Louis) lottery numbers to see if the number that she wrote down would have won her the lottery that day.
- The early Gegels are the basis for a Shirley Jackson short story.
