Good memory, Ted - you are right. I looked at that game hard and long, debating whether I would take a crack at it after the pot reached a certain alue. But the limited manner in which one can buy tickets kept me from doing it in the end

I think the game is 5 balls from 15 and if I remember correctly there are 3,003 possible combinations.
So the chance that two draws in a row will be identical is 1 in 3,003. Unlikely but quite possible.

Hey Syd: That is surprising! Yes the bingo win is a hoot; I seemed to win every 3rd or 4th. But minute I went up above $1 x 1 card, I lost for more frequently LOL.
Put last $10 on the weekend biggie. I don't think my bank will take Lotto Plus checks (without imposing big fees, if at all) cos they won't even take my casino Canadian ones! If I win the $20 million, that might swing them round, however LOL!

Umm... damn... that is totally unbelievable!
The odds of that being a typo are WAY lower than the odds of that happening in consecutive draws!

I was perusing today's results of PlusLotto's Hourly Lotto....I thought this was astonishing:
48894 23 May 2002 22:30:00 5 6 9 11 15
48893 23 May 2002 21:30:00 5 6 9 11 15
The exact numbers were drawn in two consecutive drawings - 1 hour apart....what are the odds?
I emailed support to see if it was a typo - it wasn't.
(Slow night on the Board, thought I'd throw out a little trivia.)
