Eldorado Posted December 3, 2020 #1 Share Posted December 3, 2020 An unusual sequence of numbers drawn in South Africa's national lottery has sparked accusations of fraud after 20 people won a share of the jackpot. Tuesday's PowerBall lottery saw the numbers five, six, seven, eight and nine drawn, while the PowerBall itself was, you have guessed it, 10. The organisers say the sequence is often picked. But some have alleged a scam and an investigation is under way. It is extremely rare for multiple winners to share the jackpot.

Maars Posted December 4, 2020 #4 Share Posted December 4, 2020 In South Africa corruption is order of the day there. I won't be surprised at all if it was found that someone was involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These numbers would obviously be more open to scrutiny than unrelated numbers. Although there’s the same probability of these numbers being chosen as any other combination; would be an interesting move for someone trying to game the system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
