Easy answer.

It's possible because that set of numbers is one of 850,668. They even could have been DRAWN in that order, but not necessarily.

Those numbers have the same chance as 1-2-3-4-5 or 10-20-30-40-50 being drawn. It's rare but still has the same chance.

California's Fantasy 5 had five consecutive numbers a year or so back. Daily jackpot (usually) varies between $65k-$80k. There's usually one winner, sometimes two.... The day it had the five consecutive numbers there were TWENTY NINE winners... They each walked away with less than $2k after taxes...

It's all down to probabilities & possibilities. No luck involved... You just know each of those 29 winners was thinking "no one else would have picked 5 consecutive numbers!"

& no sooner had I said they rarely get 2 winners on a draw that isn't a rollover from the night before.. we've had 2 winners each of the past 3 nights...

I asked a friend of mine who is a math professor about this. He says it's virtually impossible for 5 consecutive numbers to hit like this since the

random odds are so astronomically against it happening. I then showed him that 4 people had those same winning numbers which made him even more skeptical.

He says the odds of all that would be once in a lifetime, maybe. I read all the posts about it being possible with random odds and that it happened in California

before but it still makes you really wonder. I remember they caught that lottery official in Iowa that rigged the winning numbers for himself, I think he's

serving time now.

I always play the Fantasy 5 but this really makes me think twice about spending too much on it

Is it one of the possible combinations? If so, then it's valid and it's a possible outcome.

Don't get deceived by the fact that we are playing lotteries with huge odds of winning.

Every draw when winning numbers are drawn and announced, all loosing ticket holders will get a feeling that lottery is rigged.

I will give you an example, follow any pick-3 method and play for some days - you will hit a box or straight soon(profit or loss might be a separate story...). That's because the chance of winning is way more than JP games.

It is possible and it will come out.

Play Lottery as how you would consider other gamblings...

Good Luck

"How is this even possible with pressurized air and balls"

Because the air and balls don't know anything. They don't know that the balls are labeled with numbers, and they don't know anything about numbers let alone that some numbers are consecutive. It's only people that think that set of numbers has any more significance than any of the other 850,667 possible outcomes.

"They each walked away with less than $2k after taxes"

It's obviously better to be the only winner, but they still won more than most people who played that day.

"I asked a friend of mine who is a math professor about this."

It sounds like your friend has no business teaching. Either he's too stupid to know that every possible combination has the same probability and that 5 consecutive numbers is actually 38 times more likely than any specific combination because there are 38 combinations that are consecutive numbers, or he doesn't know how to explain something that's quite simple. You should show him the winning numbers that come up in tonight's PB drawing and ask what he thinks about them.

That definitely is questionable. The number balls could be compromised.

There are far more random combinations than consecutive number combinations, so we never give a thought to random number combinations winning. It is more likely for either one of 30-31-32-33-34 or 31-32-33-34-35 to win than it is for 4-12-15-26-31 to win. We just feel as though 4-12-15-26-31 is more likely to win because there's no pattern.

Virginia drew 3-6-9-12-15 on June 28, 2013 in the daytime. More people than normal won that drawing.

Today's winning 3-ball is going to be a number between 000 and 999.

In a lot of states, lotteries benefit education. That makes the REAL winners the only people who can't play!

It happened because it can happen. 31-32-33-34-35 got the same chance as 2-11-34-37-39.

4 people split $47,750 for that drawing.

It'$ About Time...!! A psyko say to the Georgia Lottery...your lottery needs to be "especially" investigated before this story goes virus on the NETWORKS.

[1] The Russians are messing with the Georgia ball machine.........OR

[2] The Republicans have friends on the inside the lottery playing with the ball........OR

[3] Georgia has at least 4 morons in there state playing the lottery........OR

[4] Eddie Tipton has trained the Geek Squad to fix ball machines in Georgia.
