These drawings are on tv here so they showed the correct numbers then but the wrong numbers went up on the lottery website?

I always buy my PB and mm tickets in DC. Their rules, like New Hampshire, are silent on whether other entities can claim vs an individual only.

For such a small lottery, they sure have some integrity. Other states as LP members can attest to just simply shrugged their shoulders and that was it.

Go for IGT for your Sports Betting.

To err is human, to forgive divine. These things happen.

Lottery Post — Sat, 12 Jan 2019 01:07:34 GMT

The D.C. Lottery says it is paying out tens of thousands of dollars to people who have losing tickets after the lottery reported the wrong winning numbers due to human error.

The mistake is limited to the evening drawings of the DC-2, DC-3, DC-4 and DC-5 games on Dec. 12, 2018.

According to data provided by D.C. Lottery, 773 losing tickets were designated as winning because of the error. The total winnings for those tickets is $127,505. As of Tuesday, 443 of the tickets had been redeemed
