Pick 3 Will Pay Off On Both Sets Of Midday Winners Tuesday

Players in the Tri-State Pick 3 lottery had two chances to win the midday jackpot Tuesday.

Due to a human error during the live midday drawing of the game's daily numbers, two sets of Pick 3 numbers were drawn, according to a news release from the Tri-State Lottery. Lottery officials decided to pay out on both sets of Pick 3 winning numbers for Tuesday's mid-day draw.

The two sets of winning Pick 3 numbers were: 9, 7, 1 and 0, 1, 3.

Lottery officials said that it was the first time that a draw error has been made during a Tri-State drawing.

Says wonders about the honesty, integrity and fairness of the Tri-State Lottery Commission - good public relations, too - "We screwed up but we're going to make it right." How often do you hear that any more?

The story did not explain how two sets of numbers were drawn.  What happened?

on their website, the video only shows 9-7-1 drawn and 1-7-0-3 drawn as the pick 4.... I wonder if it was a camera error that only showed the 1-0-3 and skipped the 7 from the pick 4? (if it was, they only have a correct video for it now.)
