I just made a 74 bitcoin mistake.

I just sent 73.81264095 BTC to 1w2giXiGAHiFnjyUyVyMubszKRQb8MEYt

I got that address from the list of addresses that I have sent bitcoins to in the past.  I meant to use an address that I receive bitcoins to.

I intended to transfer those bitcoins from my MtGox account to my wallet.

Does anyone know how I might find the owner of that address and kindly ask for the bitcoins back.  It is an address that my daughter used on June 7.  She sent 1 bitcoin to them.  It is either a friend or more likely a gambling service.  For a few days there she was playing one of those stupid games where you guess something and either win or loose.  Is there a list of gambling sites that were active back in June?

--edit, next day--

The coins have been recovered.

It turned out the address belonged to both a friend and a gambling service.  It is the site BitCoinGamer.com.  The site is partly owned by my daughters friend.  He is sending my coins back to me as I write.

Let this be a leson to everyone out there as clumsy as me.
