Just bought two MM tickets tonight, about 10 miles and 15 minutes apart and they share three numbers though one ticket has it as a Mega Ball number. One of the other numbers is 20, which has already come up in the last two drawings and to make it better it's followed by 21 on the first ticket. I guess the bright side is that the most recent instance of any of the numbers being together in any kind of combination for a winner was five months ago, with the best combo being five years old.

I don't think the two Lottery strands having one number match from two different sources is weird at all.

I am not saying that I am right...or claiming to be a Guru...but..

I am in a pool at work, where everyone picks thier own numbers. now...it is not uncommon for a number to be selected by two or more players, for the same draw.

not sure what the odds are on it happened (never bothered to calculate it, just know it happens almost every draw.

Yesterday I bought two MM easy picks and the woman at the counter asked if I wanted them seperate or on the same ticket. That was the second time I was asked that in a row by two different people there so I took them seperately and made a comment on how they seemed to always share a lot of numbers when bought there. Apparently I wasn't the only one that noticed how there seemed to be more duplicate numbers from multiple easy picks on the same ticket than if they were seperate because someone els... [ More ]

OK, this was yesterday, these tickets were played at the same time - two different games!:

Little Lotto (Pick 5, my numbers):

05 12 17 25 27

Lotto (Pick 6) QP:

02 12 17 25 47 50 QP

Well personally I thought it was weird and still do.

It was as if the lotto machine that spits out the tickets read the ticket in my pocklet and then gave me the second one.

A couple of years ago, I played a QP in the same place in a neighboring town two days in a row, and those two tickets were identical except for one number- and that was only off by one digit. I thought that was weird, too.

Yep that is the only combination that is plus 10, plus 1, same, plus 1, and plus 1. Had you bought a third ticket and it was plus 11, plus 2, same, plus 2, and plus 2 that would be weird, but all I see is comparing the numbers on two tickets.

Comparuing the two tickets:

16 21 24 29 39

06 20 24 28 38

gives a variance of

10 1 X 1 1

(X= same) between the two- purchases 20 minutes and five miles apart.

Considering 575, 757 possible coimbinations, I think that's kind of strange.

I can't see what's so weird about the numbers..

What am I missing?

I see 2 different combinations.

Okay - what you are saying is that there is a 1 in front of the 6. Then, except for the number 24 (which adds up to 6) the others are all +1.

Tonight I got a Fantasy 5, but instead of numbers I got 5 letters L-O-S-E-R

This is kind of strange. This just happened to be for a Pick 5 game, but it's not about any particular game as much as RNGs or just coinicidence.

I played these numbers today at a convenience store at 2:19 in the afternnoon:

16 21 24 29 39

Then I played a QP for the same game at a grocery store five miles from there at 2:40. Thsi was the QP:

06 20 24 28 38

The first ticket was numbers I picked, the secind ticket was a quick pick.

Weird, no?

Oh- the drawing?
