Pumpkins came up in the compost pile, will they be good?

I put a medium sized smooth skinned jack o lantern pumpkin on my compost pile last fall and I have dozens (and dozens) of sprouts coming from what is left of it.

Will these still grow pumpkins for Halloween, or are they likely to be sterile or something?

I am absolutely astounded at the HEALTHY sprouts coming out of the decomposed carcass! If it is THAT easy to grow pumpkins, why not just do it that way every year, but just cut up the pumpkin in smaller pieces and leave them lay where you want them to grow?

Could it be that easy?
