CONCORD, N.H. — Players of the Tri-State Pick 4 lottery had two chances to win this week when a ball left in the drawing machine led to two sets of winning numbers.
Lottery officials said they discovered that a ball was inadvertently left in the chute of the drawing machine before Tuesday's evening winning numbers were drawn, so the number wasn't included in the drawing.
Officials decided to hold another drawing Wednesday and pay out on both sets of Pick 4 numbers for the Tuesday evening draw.
The two sets of winning Pick 4 numbers are: 0-9-4-2 and 3-2-8-1. Both sets of numbers can be played on tickets purchased for the Aug. 2 Pick 4 Evening drawing.
Pick 4 tickets with the winning numbers of 3-2-8-1 must be claimed at New Hampshire Lottery headquarters or mailed to the New Hampshire Lottery for redemption. Lottery headquarters are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Winning tickets may be mailed for redemption to:
New Hampshire Lottery

Concord, NH 03301
The Tri-State Pick 4 game is played in New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine.
Sounds like maybe all them pretests and post tests are wearing out the machines.
Or maybe the pretests are just enough to build up enough static electricity to make the balls stick to the plastic.
nother reason to hold loser tics. besides for taxes .
Honorable, players win.
My leg can relate to that machine havin' the balls stickin' to it in the hot summer.
Are you kiddin' me? Oh brother.
then cut off that forest that's growing on your face. giving the players 2 chances to win with their numbers seems like a good deal for them. let them get stuck every night.
they did the right thing, as it was the only thing to do
i hope ever state will do 2 draws both counting as winners for just on 1 draw, if the first draw f'ed up. i demand the same, a redo,
Good to hear lottery corps are doing what's right.
Right move Tri-State lottery Officials
Tri-State sounds too Soviet Bloc.
They ought to merge those three states into one and call it New Vermin Hamper.
They're plum loaded with ticks with Lyme Disease up there anyway.
I heard Chuckie Schumer went up there and got bit by one.
i don't know how some hillbillie moonshiner from the poorest section of the country(it being appalachia) can disparage me,nh,vt. although there are more cows than people at least the population isn't inbred like 90% of your neighbors.
