Watched last night, had many ideas before the reveal, but it was SO clean. No clue.
AWESOME job and hats off to DB and Nyman for creating the most organic looking lottery prediction I've ever seen.
Looking forward to Friday's show!!!

That was very impressive, as always, but I expected nothing less. I couldn't help but laugh when he just stood there with a shocked expression on his face. Derren, you sly dog. And congratulations to DB and Nyman are seconded.
This was brilliant!! And so damn clean! For a while there I couldn't figure it out (and didn't want to!) but I have worked out the method now and to be honest this makes me appreciate this prediction so much more! Incredible Mr. Brown. Bravo!
Now, bring on Fridays Events!!!

OOOh, i dont actually think i wan't to watch the reveal, cos if its like the system then i will be slightly disspointed, however, it DID make for great television.
Very clever. I have an idea how it was done (and how anybody could do it too). I'm looking forward to when the show goes up on youtube. I love DB stuff.
Wherever you saw them, look a bit closer. Surely he didn't put the prediction in the actual advert? They could be the numbers.
EDIT: Nah, never mind.
But what do you guys make of the video playing here?

What's he holding at the end?

Nah they're not the numbers on the lampost - I checked. However those numbers did serve a purpose in the form of getting across the idea of the lottery to those geeks of us who actually watched the advert more than twenty times. Like the others I have some ideas of how he did it, but I'll bet they are wrong, or if they're not wrong, Derren will 'reveal' the method to be something else. It won't be practicle. You can bet on that. Like the system you won't be able to go out and do it...

No he didn't reveal the real method, hopefully it will be on youtube for you guys if I find a link I'll add it here. It as also ways was an excellent show, the third explanation was the best & he said 'If anyone asks me how did I predict the lottery, I'll reply it's just a trick'. to understand this you need to see the show. As its late here in the UK I'll post what happend or try my best to find a link for you all.

He offered 2 explanations and said believe what you want. 
I'm more confused than I was before the revelation programme.
Next week's looks very interesting.

Derren Brown has proven that the trick itself is all but immaterial as long as you can present it. I think putting David Blaine *spits* on straight afterwards was a mistake because it really really emphasised the difference in showmanship. What would usually have been an faintly interesting program was boring by comparison to Derren's genius and so Randomwrath and I switched it off.
God bless Derren Brown.

Couldn't have put it better myself.
Wow, I love that man, he is a genius in every possible way
Anyone else visit any non-magic forums where people are discussing this and driving themselves up multiple walls discussing various methods and explanations? It's awesome stuff.
I'm all set to watch the reveal later tonight, but I've read in lots of places that it was kind of disappointing, giving Derren's reputation. That it was a little too obviously-fake-showmanship, as opposed to his other specials. Still looking forward to this, though!

Put it this way: Usually it is only magicians who think he is probably bull****ting his way through most shows (like with the twenty questions game), but in this he actually invites everyone to accuse him of bull****ting. The poor laymen don't know what hit them
