I believe you!!! I have two theories. First, they may have accidentally aired video of a "pre-draw" drawing. They do two or three "pre-draw" draws to make sure the equipment functions properly, then they do the real draw, then they do a "post-draw" drawing (believe it or not). I wonder if maybe they accidentally aired video of one of those pre-draws. There's a way to find out. One of our members, MikeinMotley, used to file a monthly Freedom Of Information (FOI) request with the state to obtain a copy of the official draw information that included all the pre-draw/draw/post-draw results. You could file a FOI request like Mike did and take a look to see if the draw you saw is anywhere in there.
Second, stuff happens, people make mistakes, so maybe somebody accidentally aired a video from the wrong date, maybe even from another year of something equally crazy. When things go wrong, they really go wrong, right? So I dug though the numbers to see if there ever really was a night draw result where the Pick 3 was ANY combo of 280 and the night draw was ANY combo of 7252 or anything remotely similar. I included the chart below so you can look through it.
Other than the 7252 draw from November 20th (the draw you mentioned from last week), I can find only one occasion where the Pick 3 Night draw was a combo of 280 and the Pick 4 Night draw was ANY combo close to 7252. Here it is - 11/01/2018,404,208 11/01/2018,8498,7250.
Again,I've included my worksheet below so you can look through them. The left column is every draw result that ever had a combo of 280 in the Pick 3 Night draw. The right column is the associated Pick 4 Draws for that same date.

It also occurred to me that maybe the 7252 ANY combo was correct and the Pick 3 combo was slightly off, so I did that search also, without much
luck. I'm including that search below just in case something pops out at you. These are all the combos of 7252 and the associated Pick 3 numbers
which fell on that date.

The other possibility is that somebody really is up to some shenanigans and accidentally outed themselves last night. It's possible. The history of "lotteries" in general is shot through with tales of malfeasance, That's why the lottery draws are audited by an outside firm and so on, but even that doesn't entirely preclude the possibility of malfeasance...
Thanks for reporting what you saw!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
