Columbus Zoo Gorilla Predicts Mega Millions Jackpot Numbers (VIDEO)

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — As the rest of the country goes ape over the prospect of cashing in on the Mega Millions' record $540 million jackpot, a gorilla at an Ohio zoo is offering her predictions.

In a Friday appearance on ABC's Good Morning America, Colo at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium was presented a pile of onions marked 1 through 56, for her five main selections, and a pile of turnips marked 1 through 46, for her Mega Ball choice.

Her onion choices are 9, 12, 21, 31 and 41. And her turnip Mega Ball number is 9.

The 55-year-old Colo has a history of giving sage advice.

Last year, she correctly picked the NCAA Men's Final Four and its champion, Connecticut.

Time for Colo to be out down. Thanks for N-O-T-H-I-N-G. How about someone from the Columbus Zoo driving two hours north to give me my $2.00 back?

The Columbus Zoo is one of the nicest Zoo's in the United States. The employees at the Columbus Zoo are the most helpful, kind people you will ever meet. The food & consession stands are priced fair and are spotlessly clean. I'm sure they will close the doors over your 2 bit complaint.

Monkey millionaires on the rise. Make way people for the nouveau riches. Monkeys drive exotic cars, monkeys own a yatch, monkeys live in big real estates, monkeys own a jet.

i think you be over 21 years of age and human to legally collect a lottery win.
Also need a photo ID and a SS or Tax ID number to collect.

The age varies by state from 16 to 18. But yes you do need to be a human. Non humans have no legal status except as property. You do not need a photo ID but you do need to fill out tax forms and you will need to provide a SS#.
