New York State lottery officials closed down betting on 871 because too many New Yorkers were playing the number - the hotel room where Eliot Spitzer banged a hooker.
Officials retired the number for Tuesday night's Daily Numbers game after it reached $5 million in sales.
The lottery cuts off sales to numbers when they reach $5 million in order to limit the state's payout should the number hit.
But it turned out to be as unlucky for gamblers as it was for Spitzer: Tuesday evening's winning number was 662.
