JJ : Auch wenn uns wahrscheinlich alle dafür hassen werden... wir werden wohl niemals das geheimniss um die zahlen ganz lüften können... (anm. v. boo: weil ihr es selbst nicht wißt?)

Omg -.- naja, dann denk ich mir ne Theorie...

Am meisten überzeugt hat mich bisher diese:

The numbers are simply a universal code for the project. Everytime someone says 4-8-15-16-23-42, the government knows they're talking about Dharma. Hence why they haven't found these people yet, because the UN is in on it.
So, Hurley uses the numbers and the lottery people are suddenly like... DHARMA HAS ENTERED IN THE LOTTERY and rigs the results to give the money to project, not knowing the Hurley is the one getting the money. When Hurley gets the money the government tries to inavertedly make everything go wrong around him so eventually he'll need to get rid of the money. And of course... he'll hand it over to some charity... some government charity. Ta-da. Money.
But what better way to get the money itself then to take the man with the money.
Just a theory.
