So did a quick google search to see if there were any winners that might have talked to the press about only winning $700 (ish) for a jackpot instead of the 30k (ish) it normally pays. Only looked at the first google page, but the last story on google was from Lottery Post and were my comments! That was kinda cool to see, my comments on a google search

Oh and only story I found that talked to anyone talked to a store and the owner said he thought it was 'cute' that so many won - LOL... [ More ]

Not sure if the relevant rules have changed since then, but currently most of the NY Lotto prizes are parimutuel. 2nd place can vary widely depending on how long it goes without a winner, while 3rd and 4th are a bit more consistent. 5th place is the only one that's fixed, and pays $1. If the prizes weren't normally parimutuel back then I'm sure they had a disclaimer in case they had an unusually high number of winners.

AFAIK it was basically a PSA to let people know that instead of the typi... [ More ]

Back before QPs existed the NY lottery ran ads telling people to stop playing diagonal patterns. I forget the exact numbers but more than 8000 people were playing each of the diagonals starting from the upper right and left corners on the play slip for NY Lotto.

I believe you, but why? Were they afraid they'd have to pay out too many fixed prizes in the unlikely event a pay slip pattern was drawn? Cheaper than running ads would have been to cap sales on particular combos or even better... [ More ]

there have never ever been 52 winners for picking out all 5 numbers. Not even close.

And how many other times has the winning combination been the same as the previous winning combination?

I spoke to numerous NY Lottery retailers and they can't understand it either.

The world is full of people who can't understand really simple concepts when they're explained, let alone figure them out on their own.

Because playing the previous result is a popular way to pick numbers. Maybe you and I think that's a really strange way to play, but it's what a lot of people do. Consider all the people who play 1-2-3-4-5. If that combo were drawn, there'd be hundreds, maybe thousands of winners.

I totally agree with you, as that was my first thought...how did 52 players decide to play the same exact numbers from the previous draw in a Take Five game.

It's more likely to occur in a Pick 3 game with a 1,000 to 1 odds but not in a high odds game. Perhaps someone forgot to run the so called test draws and the previous results appeared instead.

There is more to this than meets the eye.

Exactly. I have been a NY Take 5 Lottery player since it began. The odds may be the same and perhaps the same 5 numbers were randomly selected. What is mind boggling is how could zero players not pick those 5 numbers in the afternoon draw but then52 players play the same numbers at the evening draw? All same 5 numbers and not one person plays those numbers mid-day? But 52 people say oh look, those 5 numbers came out earlier they probably will all come out again tonight Very unlikely.

NY definitely doesn't spread the top prize money to the second place winners.

Please! It is rigged. Because that is not considered random. That is rigged. They should have left it with humans pulling the balls during a live show.

KY Floyd — Mon, 31 Oct 2022 02:51:35 GMT

I have not seen or heard of a 'system' which you re-play the exact winning numbers

The world is full of people with strange ideas. Some people think that numbers that haven't been drawn for along time become more likely the longer they go without being drawn. Others take the opposite approach and think numbers that have repeated recently are more likely to be selected. Playing the exact numbers from a previous drawing is just taking the second approach to the extreme.

But what fraud exactly. If the set up of the machines and the game itself is exactly the same, there can be no fraud technically. They aren't allowed to play because they work for the lottery, I believe. 52 winners of $712.50? What fraud? What would they hope to get out of it. I don't even play take 5. I get the idea of fraud is taking from someone and lying to someone, but it's not like they work on commission or something, it's not like they're struggling financially. NY Lottery rakes in billi...

52 top prize winners of $715.50. Don't forget the fifty cents. Win4 pays better than that.

Soledad — Sun, 30 Oct 2022 21:19:50 GMT

So then why are experts saying that this fact, this anomaly, of the same Take 5 numbers being drawn twice in one day have odds of 1 in 331 billion chances of happening. Yes, that is quite rare, even rarer than winning the Powerball jackpot. I'm leaning on something else. Sure one can say, but what can one say really. Not 1 in 575,757. Not in the same day. Come on, no way.

Nurdug — Sun, 30 Oct 2022 19:24:28 GMT

no I don't think the NY was rigged.. the same numbers come out all the time and agree with that just happened: though it is rare.. VA which I play has reverse numbers come out all the time .. mirror numbers. It is odd though that some states seem to be more prone to being able to beat the standard odds... you know the math teachers.. the so called Math students.. whatever anyway keep up the good work. :) frankly when I saw that the POWERBALL went to a BILLION I was really disgusted..

In no lottery do the same numbers come out in a draw of more than 5 numbers, not even in a year, much less on the same day, that is clearly a fraud, the TAKE 5 players are noticing something strange

Comment #15

Macorisano — Sun, 30 Oct 2022 18:28:10 GMT

If the state and the corresponding authorities remain silent, they are complicit in this fraud, dial probabilities of 1 in 5,000,000, (a lie) not even in 10 years will the same numbers appear

DELotteryPlyr — Sun, 30 Oct 2022 09:05:28 GMT

What I find odd is the number of winners in the EVE drawing??!! I used to play the game years ago and if you saw more than 3-4 jackpot winners in one game it was rare. So for *** 52 *** players to win?? Even now you can go on NY Lottery's website and it will show the number of winners for each draw. Nothing more than a couple winners each play.

Plus, I have not seen or heard of a 'system' which you re-play the exact winning numbers from the prior play here on LP. So it does SCREAM of som... [ More ]

1 in 331 billion chance

Don't listen to morons who either don't understand basic probability or don't know how lottery games work.

There are 575,757 possible combinations for Take Five, so the chance that any particular result will occur is 1 in 575,757. The chance of drawing a particular combination that matches any specific past drawing is therefore 1 in 575,757 because the past drawing has already happened and it's a certainty rather than a probability. That's true whether it's about... [ More ]

Unfortunately, there are those that are either ignorant, or just not smart enough to understand that lotteries make money from selling tickets, and people winning jackpots are good for business, meaning people will buy tickets hoping to be the next winner.

You are right, conspiracy heads are more vocal, logic doesnt apply.

It's TRUE, the dump employee forgot to set up the machine before the draw, if they would redraw, they will come up with same numbers again and again.

The odds are exactly 1 in 575,757, because that is exactly how many different combinations there are in the game.

While quite rare, it obviously is possible for a combo to be drawn back to back, or perhaps months or years apart. Why not. Just because it was drawn once, doesn't mean the lottery commission is going to toss those numbers out so they can't be drawn again.

THE LOTTERY IS ALWAYS RIGGED ( They Select The Winning Combination) WHETHER THEY USE A Lottery Draw Machine OR COMPUTERIZED LOTTERY DRAWINGS.

The lottery should do the same for those Mega Millions and Powerball lottery jackpots, spread it to multiple winners.

I think the odds of hitting the same combination has to be higher than 575 thousand to one.

New York Lottery draws identical Take 5 results two drawings in a row

Lottery Post — Fri, 28 Oct 2022 15:00:47 GMT

Lottery confirms results and process were properly vetted and verified

By Kate Northrop

The New York Lottery's Take 5 game produced highly improbable identical results two drawings in a row yesterday.

The Take 5 Midday and Evening drawings for Thurs., Oct. 27 ended up churning out the same five numbers, which in turn led to an unusually high number of winners of the game's top prize.

Yesterday's Take 5 Midday and Evening lottery results were 18, 21, 30, 35, and 36.
