Yes they did add the 70 other winners, although when the list first came out for the first hour it only had 700 and a chunk of numbers were out of sequence. I dont know how those sort of errors on uploading numbers on a website are made and why 70 were left off and squeezed in later. As for them selling a huge amount of tickets at the end I guess that is pretty common. You probably had a lot of retailers buying some up at the end seeing the better odds since most tix wouldnt be sold. Plus t... [ More ]

Actually, I did count 770 $1000 winners.

It is always something with this state. From the looks they did only pull winers from the number of tickets sold rather than the number of tickets available.

They have picked the winners after only selling 140k of the 325k tickets so they will take a bit of a loss here.

Always something with this state.
