433 players win $4 million lottery jackpot in Philippines, prompts calls for investigationReply
I read somewhere that the numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6 are played by 10K people daily in the U.S. So if this number ever does come up in the MM or PB, these people will not be getting the money they expected. I read the story in Dec. 2020, in the South African Powerball. The numbers 5-6-7-8-9-10 came out and 20 people hit the jackpot. A lot of people were angry and cried fraud.

45 jackpot-winning tickets in one California Lottery Fantasy 5 drawingReply
the numbers: 5-6-7-8-9-10. Lottery players cried fraud and an investigation took place.

It takes a special kind of stupid to play numbers like that and cry fraud instead of figuring it out when you share the winnings with a bunch of other people.
