Fortunes are fun!

Fortunes exactly as you would find them inside a Fortune Cookie. Words of wisdom first. Then a phrase in English, followed by the phrase in Chinese lettering and the pronunciation. Lastly, lucky lottery numbers ranging from 0 to 59, coninciding with US Powerball numbers. No one has ever won the Powerball using the numbers from a fortune cookie. Will you be the first?

Info

• The .css file included helps you modify size and color of text.
• For best results in top_bar/bottom_bar/thirds set maxWidth: "100%" to stretch across your mirror and modify size and color of text in the css file.
• Need a color chart? No problem. http://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-picker/
