Magic co-founder carrying Lil' Penny doll into draft lottery
Hoping to cash in on some decades-old luck and nostalgia, Orlando Magic co-founder Pat Williams will have a blast from the past in his possession as he keeps a talking Lil' Penny doll with him during the NBA draft lottery Tuesday night.
"We put the finest minds we've got on this one, and this is what they came up with," Williams joked in comments to the Orlando Sentinel. "I'll keep that very, very, very close. We don't want anybody running off with that, so I'll have that in my possession the entire evening.
"It's our version of a lucky penny. We've tried everything in the past: lucky coins, four-leaf clovers, rabbit's feet, Lucky Charms cereal. We've taken everything up there."
