    With Lois and Clark's heartbreaking breakup it was only fitting we get a few laughs with this story. Strange things are happening everywhere and there's a huge outbreak of lottery fever. It seems everyone is getting their wishes granted, despite the danger to others. Note the scene when Jimmy is surrounded by groupies. A brunette resembling a certain Mary Jane Watson also uses her famous "You've just hit the jackpot" line.
    The ending alone provides enough laughs if not the cover's image of Superman using Homer Simpson's trademark catchphrase "D'oh." The final page features one of Mr. Mxyzptlk's most amusing entrances ever. Superman catches him in his shower and he replies "Well it ain't Bobby Ewing, Buster."
