Frank was a man who believed in the deeper meaning of numbers. He was born on May 5, 1955, and was fifty-five years old. He had five children, and he lived at 555 East 55th Street in New York. For the past five years, he had earned $55,000. On his fifty-fifth birthday, he went to the track. Five minutes before the race began, he went to the fifth window and put down five thousand dollars in five-dollar bills on Number Five. Sure enough, the horse finished fifth. 프랭크는 숫자의 깊은 의미를 믿는 사람이었다. 그는 1955년 5월 5일에 태어나 55세였다. 자녀 다섯명을 두고 뉴욕 55번가 이스트 555번지에 살고 있었다. 지난 5년간 그가 번 돈은 5만5,000달러. 만 55세 되는 날 그는 경마장에 갔다. 레이스가 시작되기 5분 전 5번 창구에서 5달러 짜리로 5,000달러를 5번 말에 걸었다. 아니나 다를까, 그 말은 5등을 했다.
